Just block them.
But as for what is allowed, facebook's terms and conditions pretty much allow them to come round your house and have a go on your missus.

Yes they are. Allowable with FB terms & conditions.

This article doesn't go into the fact that fan pages are also sold online.
That's why they often have very generic names.
