How do some companies offer 1,000 followers on facebook?

[Los Angeles Web Studio]

Facebook is a pain when it comes to adding friends. Its a way for them to control what groups and market you can reach so you will be forced to buy their ads rather then just add them to your profile. Almost every body that I know has gotten that Facebook "box warning" not to add friends and you are blocked for 7 or 30 days and so on.. so how is it possible for some companies to offer 1,000 followers for a fee? why does facebook allow them to manipulate their system? and if it is not true what is the best way to get friends on facebook without being banned?

Joining the groups is a great way to find FaceBook friends. It follows restrictions and you can't get banned for it. Companies use ads to make you join groups, therefor having them be "friends". Doing this violates FaceBook's Terms Of Use, as you must personally know all friends.
