We got 10,000 facebook likes overnight from people in another country. WHY? How do I get rid of them?

Our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/MobileAttic received more than 10,000 likes over night.  We only had about 250 likes prior to this.

I know this hurts our engagement numbers as well as limits real customers / community from seeing our posts.

Is there any way to get our fans down to a real "non-spammed" number?

It's going to take you a while, but you can do it manually. Go to your admin panel, then on the left side, click "new likes." Then you will see a list of people's profiles with a "make administrator tab" and next to that an "x." Click the "x" and it will remove them from your page. Repeat.

that's the best solution I have. Wish I could give you an easier way.

Good luck!

To add to Kemp you can also try using a macro

To add to both Kemp and Chris, If you have a mac running os x, you can use the automater utility.

Man that stinks, it would be nice to pick up 10,000 legitimate fans that quickly but yeah after checking out your facebook I guess that Turkey probably isn't your target market! Looks like it's Manual Deletion or attempting the automater ultility unfortunately
