Facebook fake account bullies? spam? - Yetzily S. - 08-13-2013 04:25 AM
Okay, so recently, Ive gotten 3 friend requests and messages from all of them. I used google images picture search and found out that the accounts are fake. They message almost the same thing. "i added you because i liked your picture, i have to log out now hit me up, 123-456-7890" and the area codes for the phone numbers are diff states so they cant be the same person, and it seems like a scam rather than an actual person trying to have fun harrasing people

Facebook's Terms instruct users NOT to add people they don't personally know.
My suggestion, simply don't accept friend requests from people you don't know. :-)

That's weird, but I think someone set it up. Just try unfriending them or reporting them. If they aren't your friend decline and tell someone else. My Facebook hasn't been working at all so I don't know much about it... but that's what I'd do.

These are spambots for sex chat rooms. If you call the number, you will be billed up to $10 per minute
This is why your profile should always be set to private and you should never accept friend requests or reply to emails from anyone you don't know. Under Actions at the top click Report Spam or Abuse so Facebook can remove those accounts
