Scammers and impostors

Can anyone explain why anyone would "steal" another's friends list? Somebody did that to me today, and I don't get what they would want, other than agravating my friends. The scammers, I know, can steal people's identities, money, etc. But why would anyone pretend to be somebody else?!

A few months ago a 'fake me' sent out friend requests to all of my friends. A few family members sent me messages saying, they thought I had been hacked. My daughter notified admin to have the account deleted. I can't believe how many of my friends accepted a friend request from a 30 year old me.

I don't get what they hope to accomplish by doing this. I guess they'd try to scam all my friends in some way. FB should ask whether it's really the person who claims they need to change the whole friends' list...

It's amazing what people will do. The world is filled with evil and sometimes people become so desperate. There's bullies and trolling all around. They simply don't care about people.
