Anonymous Friend Requests

I call them a lot of things but friends they are not you just become a new number to there list for the longest time I have approved them but now I don't and I will be going though my face book and delete those that I don't talk to

I have several fb friends whom I really don't know. When I first joined fb I confirmed whatever friend requests that I had. Bt now, I don't anymore confirm friend requests from people unknown to me.

I find nothing wrong in adding people I don't know as long as they don't do anything wrong.

I am sure they have a motive. I do not have facebook, so I cannot verify if you can just simply email them back and ask who they are and what their business with you revolves around. The easier alternative is to just reject them. If they really know you, they have other means to contact you, somehow.

it happen to me till today. So many stranger send friend request but I choose now which one I should accept because sometimes they don't speak in common language like English or their profile picture and photos is too vulgar.

yes and if he/she are not and the same game that i play i ignore them

A very important part of a social networking is making new friends. It isn't so bad if someone is willing to reach out to you, all you have to do is give them a shot and if you don't like them you can always un-friend them. :P

I have two facebook accounts. I made a new one because the previous one always have anonymous pending friend requests. Even if I deny them, they still add on another day.

I have deleted som e because i did not know them but they were friends with the real friends i had. Some that deleted were onl y there to try to sell me something so I chose to delete.

I think this has happened to pretty much all of us at some point or another. For me, it depends on whether or not i'll add them. First I'll check out their profile and see if it looks spammy. If we have mutual friends, I'll more than likely add then unless I have some suspicions about them. I've added people that I didn't really know before, and actually ended up becoming friends with a few. I just think that you have to follow your mind, and go with your gut feeling.

I Already had bad experience before about adding friend without knowing about that guy. So, If they not give me explanation why they add me, their request will gone (deleted)

I've never heard of and that event occurs. because I limit my facebook privacy. thank you.

Through those online platform like fb, you can meet friends, but you just need to know what you want,is not everyone that had me that i accept.but i know what i want, likewise i don't deceive my self.

I've received some requests from people I don't know several times already. Sometimes I reject the friend request. Sometimes I just let them stay in the pending list, especially if we have mutual friends but I really don't know the person and don't want to be friends with him/her.

Yes to add people they don't have to you or have the same friends, you can do a search of someone's name or it could be pulled up on possible people they might know which can bring up people you know and don't know.

Oh, I have the same experience a lot. And I really don't know why these stuff are hapenning. I don't really enclose my full name anywhere else than Facebook, I don't have my usernames up there, I don't have my mail address and other info on my page, and they could not even be seen by ppl I don't know. So, it's weird that without any mutual friends people like this find me. For me, it's mostly random guys from all over the world... I think all they do is browsing Facebook and friend requesting every single girl who looks a level nicer than Bigfoot.

i experienced much of this situation in facebook. for now, if i am not familiar with the person of i do not like what i see, i will not add them or ignore them. i just leave it like that. but before yes, i was the one who added unfamiliar people because i am playing games in facebook. and i want them to help me send some stuffs which i needed in my game. but i am not playing much now. so i guess, i do not need lots of people as my friend in facebook more if i do not know them in person. what is the use of having lots of friends in your friend list when you do not interact with each one. not to be snobbish, i just refrain or control my friend's list, because i have almost thousands of friends in facebook but we are not talking with each one, so what is the purpose hehe

Haha! It happens a lot! Most especially in facebook. Really funny but if you are the type of person that do not take this seriously then it's just fine.

Well,i did receive anonymous friend requests in most of social media accounts.But i do not get it on daily basis rather it would be during a while around things.I do not take it seriously and perhaps think it happened due to some identity mistake.I think at times its normal.But daily basis, well that certainly not normal.I do add them but i have privacy policies well for them.If in case i see that they are not my type, i would not add them, which so far has not happened to me.Next,if the added people misbehave with me too,i would do the same.But that too has not happened luckily.But then i would be cautious with these guys and would limit sharing my personal things with these people.As my gender is male,i guess such requests are normally less.I think females should be more or less getting more anonymous friend requests. Atleast that has been trend so far as far as most are concerned.I need to check with these people on why and how they added me.And in your case, i would advice caution.May be they are adding the wrong person.Or there could be some motives and things like that behind such actions.It is always nice to be cautious.It helps many a time as well.Thanks!

It must mean that you have a very like able profile picture or they're just posers pretending to have lots of friends to appear as real people. Its best not to just agree being friends with them, they're just using you and you'll never be sure as to what else they are using you for. The Internet is not the safest place on earth.
