It seems an already explored and crowded research environment:

Buy Facebook Friends
https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=buy+facebook+friends
1,350,000,000 results

Social Media Spam Facebook
https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=social+media+spam+facebook
62.000.000 results

Social Network Spamming
https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=social+network+spamming
44.000.000 results

With many scientific analysis on how to handle that stuff, such as:

A Framework for Unsupervised Spam Detection in Social Networking Sites
