I get one or two of these Facebook Friend requests every week. This one is from Wisdom Sasha. She has no friends, no photos, and no info listed. She is wrapped in the flag though, so that's a good sign, right? Why am I so popular among your women, but only online?

Oh, you assume I have friends.

Yes, that's probably as good a reason as any. They would have a couple of hundred more people to pester.

That is probably a copied photo of someone not involved in the scam. I would hesitate to put it on the internet.

I wonder how many people received that request. It would be nice to know where it was coming from. Most of mine come from Europe.

I am always getting friend suggestions, as opposed to requests, of people I don't know and don't live where I live. I can understand when I get suggestions of friends of friends, but some there is no reason for it.

Sure there is, FB wants you to expand your friends list. Not sure about their algorithm, but they try.....
Mostly friends of friends that you may know.
Maybe they do it for people who want LOTS of friends.

I don't want lots of "friends", I only want friends I actually know. I get friend suggestions where there is no conceivable way I actually know them. When it is a friend of a friend or family member, they tell me that.

Ditto.
Only ones I know well. I try to keep my list small. Somewhere around 350 so far. But I do have some good "acquaintances" as friends.
People I went to high school with that I never hung around with, I usually don't.
And I don't put any "personal" stuff on FB....... I just use it to kibitz with friends.

I get these requests also. No info, friends, etc. I even get some where they use a pic of some one who is a FB friend and has been so for years. I just delete them.
