Middle aged women with a name fetish adding me on facebook...

Flare · 14 Jan 2010 at 15:28

So over the past couple of days a few middle aged women who clearly have a name fetish or something have been adding on Face Book, here is a print screen of two of their news feeds:

Are they just genuine odd women or is it people tryign to access information about me and my friends and what not?

Thanks,
Flare

Looks like they're adding people in alphabetical order to me? Probably some kind of spam bot

It's Skynet, you have been added to the list of likely candidates to start a human revolution and must be purged.

Clearly a spambot.

I never accept friend requests from people I don't know unless they message me beforehand...

Dinomania · 14 Jan 2010 at 15:38

Aye, if it's someone I don't know they get a message asking who they are... had two of those lately, neither replied.

Why do people accept requests of people they've never met?

Because it gives the illusion that they have loads of friends... when instead they're just really really lonely

Exactly what I do, and 9 times out of 10 I don't get a reply

If you were referring to me that's not true! I know all the people in my friends and don't have a ridiculous amount of friends, i just accepted them becuase i was curious as to why a good looking middle aged woman was adding me (

). What a disappointed to learn they are bots

The amount of people that actually added that person they don't know is quite shocking.

Whilst we are on the subject, if someone wants to add - http://www.facebook.com/search/?q=w...385767&ref=search&sid=514681704.1184639648..1, then copy all her photos and then delete her as a friend before she contacts you on live chat and asks if you want to webcam chat with her but you need to pay by credit card.

She WILL accept you as friend.

Then send me the photos. ta

These are quite common. There's a girl who apparently went to my school for 5 years, she joined our network and has added about 40 people.

Had a discussion with a few friends, and nobody knows her...

They think they’re popular.

Or you could do it and share it with the whole of OcUK

"Hurray for Papa!" That's what we will say
