General Chat

only go on there if I'm tagged, but I've just had a shedload of messages confirming we are friends from people I've never heard of in my life!! :-S :-S

Don't you just love faceache?

I've had a few of them this week myself Ann :-S

I had quite few friends requests from people I don't know this week :-D :-D

delete delete delete :-D :-D

and the blasted things keep coming!!! :-S

and another one :-S this is getting tedious - I've never requested anyone to be my friend on Facebook

I'm getting a Billy Nomates complex.

Never had friend requests from strangers.

I've haven't seen any of the seedy stuff and sweary words that some on here go on about either.

Am I doing something wrong? :-0

I've had them Island from friends of friends and
family members friends, if that makes sense :-S

I also haven't seen seedy stuff.

I never ever go on there unless I'm tagged by one of my friends - TBH I'd like to get off Facebook but not sure how to do it

I found an option where no one can send you a friend request unless they are a friend of an existing friend.

Can't remember where i found it but i have had no requests since..

I love facebook :-D :-D

I hate it - and now to add to the annoyance I have Supercrutch and Jude tagging me - I'll get them both playtime tomorrow - they'll be so sorry :-D :-D :-D :-D

When I have the time, I'm never off FB. It's a great way of communicating between family and friends. Can chat for ages to friends from around the world :-D

I have message from at least ten people I've never heard of - some of them Chinese!!!!

I don't use facebook myself ... but an awful lot of people who do (and use Instagram and other silly things) seem to think it's okay to use MY email address when they sign up there!

then I get friends requests from Africa and Thailand ... and that's when I figure out somebody else has used one of my email addresses ... and I go to their account, say I've forgotten my password, get an email for setting a new one, and go back to their account and change the password :-D

usually to something rude ... but then if they try to get into their account and don't have the password, the new password request will just get sent to me anyhow.

I can't believe anywhere that lets people use an email address to sign up without requiring that they confirm it by sending them an email with a link they have to click ...

They're from the take away Ann :-)

I really do have the take away on mine Mr M hahha :-D :-D

In Ann' s case it is not friends requests she is getting but acceptances I think. I know because I had a friend request supposedly from Ann and I was happy to accept. So it seems either facebook or someone is sending out requests in her name. It looked genuine.

someone is mucking about - wonder who it is :-D

AnnCardiff I would strongly recommend your change your FB password and make it a "strong" one. Sounds as if you've been hacked.

I would also recommend you check your security settings on FB and ensure only "FB Friends" can view your "Wall"

I've been on FB for years and never had a problem. You can of course unfriend any new friends you don't know

I like FB as use it to keep in touch with ex mil mates from mid 1950s onwards and family of course
