creepy/weird FB friend request
I just got a FB friend request from someone that I totally don't recognize. I mean, at all. Not even a whiff of a glimmer of recognition from either the name or the photo.
His message with the request says, "Are you the Lisa [Mylastnamehere] that I think you are?" He's also friends with my ex-youth group leader from the church I went to in my teens, so there's the vague possiblity that perhaps we went to the same church at one time, but I don't remember him at all...and I find it kind of weird that he'd send a friend request to one of the kids (since that's what he'd remember me as: a kid) from a church he used to attend, if that is indeed how he knows me.
It's for times like this that the ignore button was invented. *click!*
Re: creepy/weird FB friend request
Ew, yuck! I once got a request from someone who said she graduated from my high school. I accepted and went straight to her profile. There was nothing there except a tiny amount of info, including the name of my high school. The graduation year listed was 2097! Aaaaand, delete.
Apparently people set up fake profiles and then send mass requests and hope nobody is paying attention. I don't know what the benefit of that is, unless it's to grab email addresses and/or spam the crap out of others.
Like you said, once a few people respond, you'll see "You have 3 friends in common!" and think "Well, I must know them somehow".
Lisa, I was almost wondering if the person I have had probs with on MY friendslist added YOU too lol! Then I saw that your person was a 'he'.
Mine was a cousin of my dad's. Who I have seen in person maybe 10 times in my life. She basically helped herself to my friendslist and added people from it that.she.has.never.met.and.never.will.
Like, my brothers-in-law. A few other random people. My brother-in-law and his wife had their first baby about two weeks ago and she was the first to post to his announcement on his wall with "Congrats daddy! Can't WAIT to see pictures!".
I was already annoyed at her for all the random adds and getting my friends etc asking me who the hell this woman was. Then I realize she has added my brothers-in-law and they added her because she said she was MY cousin and they didn't wanna be rude and deny her request. Now she was privy to their private lives and behaving familiar with them as if she knew them.
She keeps trying to add my husband but he's like "this woman can't take no for an answer! I keep denying her and she keeps trying to add me!". Apparently she keeps doing this to other people I know too.
Farrrrkkkkkkk offfffffffff loony distant relative!
Sorry, that turned into a long vent haha.
Lisa, yeah that's a little creepy. Good that you clicked 'deny'!
creepy! I would probably put him on my blocked list too if he tries to friend you again!
Sometimes if we have friends in common, I'll write to one of them and ask who the person is.
Already done.
It was just too weird for me, and frankly, even if it IS a legit request and we did genuinely meet at one stage, he clearly meant nothing in my life because I don't remember him. So I have no use for him, even if it's just on FB.
