Facebook annoyance

philmophlegmNormally following a You're Hired! heat, I find all the winners and reserves that I can on facebook and send them a congratulatory message. This message also gives them the link to our website and invites them to join our facebook group so that they can keep up to date on news of the final and see if anyone they know from other schools has got through. The group and the website also have links to each of the sponsoring employers' websites, which will be useful to anyone interested in a job (which is after all the real purpose of the event).
In the last two days, I have sent out five such messages, each one different. On the basis of this, facebook has accused me of spamming and is threatening to disable my account. I can't send any messages now for an unspecified period of time (at their discretion).
Which is quite annoying.
I really do want to be able to invite the finalists and reserves to join the facebook group, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do this within facebook. I can invite people to join the group, but only if they are facebook friends or I have their email address and they are not already on facebook. I don't want to add all the finalists and reserves as friends at this stage.
Any ideas?
