facebook

my question is kind of weird, because i want thousands of fans to dislike my page! Since this is not a common problem I hardly can find anything about it!

my facebook page just got spammed with thousands of "fans" from a specific country. When I set a coountry restriction for that country, will the fans be banned and the number of fans be the same as before the spam-attack? I really need to get rid of those fans. I already restricted that country and facebook actually updated the chart where I can see where my fans are coming from. So fb knows that I have those "fans", but the number of likes remains the same... Any idea?

It is not possible to ban every fan 1 by 1 because I can only see the last 100 fans.
