so i am not sure why facebookmail.com, though the register domain holder for this domain is facebook itself , but still just be aware when you receive this kind of message from facebook or orkut or gamil , please see the URL from where its comming and where its redirecting that's important



checklist for spam

check the url
check the SSL certificate on browser bar
check the url goes to actual website ie. www.facebook.com and not facebook.mytest.com

browse safe be safe
