An Australian couple have been served with legal documents via the popular social networking site Facebook.Mark McCormack, a lawyer in Canberra, persuaded a court to allow him to use the unusual method after other attempts to reach them failed.
The couple's home is being repossessed after they reportedly missed payments on a loan of over A$100,000 ($67,000; £44,000).
It is believed to be the first time Facebook has been used in this way.

Actually I remember reading about this, they apparently exhausted all other means of contacting the people and I think Facebook was a last resort, it's not as if they decided that Facebook was the only way of getting in contact with them.
Wow, who would've guessed. </sarcasm>
You can't prove its them that clicked the agreement button , but still they will loose in court against the compagnie that states you had to agree to them to use there service or software ( easy to use someone else computer but still you are the one responsible for its use ).
Same things apply here, i am also happy that they can do this.
As per like that, people trying to get away from payments will have to finally pay them rofl, scammers getting scam at there own games rofl.
Obviously they would make sure they had the right person. Most of the information is in that article.
