My friend wants to use my pictures on facebook to trick a guy she likes?

[Bridgette]

Yes. This is crazy. I just got home from class and noticed I had a few messages sent to me on Facebook. This woman and I went to high school together, and while we were acquaintances, we were never super close friends. This is her message to me:

"Hello my dear. I have an unusual request. Jeff and I divorced late last summer. This was information that I still haven't really made public. Nothing personal, it was messy and hard. I'm currently dating a man who I care for very dearly but I have discovered he is using a datingwebsite to which I am quite frankly, extremely pissed about. What I want to do is pull a con. I want to create a profile and make him fall madly in love with me. I am telling you all this because you are the most beautiful woman I know and I'd like your permission to use your pictures for the profile. I wouldn't use your name, I may ask to show your YouTube channel/videos but yeah. That's it. Unless of course your YouTube channel has your name attached to it. What do you think? You could say I'm getting tired of letting men control my life. Before you say no and call me crazy, just know I'm getting even. I've been hurt and I'm ready to stop being the victim."

How do I explain to her that this request is weird, that I don't want any part of her relationship with this guy, and that pretending to be someone else on the internet is NEVER the answer...Without upsetting her further and her doing it anyway?

You'd think a full grown adult wouldnt resort this. That's crazy. She can always use other pictures that are easily accessible on the internet. For her to even ask you to do this with your own image is almost disrespectful and has no care for your well-being or even this guy's. If she cannot stand that he's using a dating website, then she really should just either break it off with him or confront him about it. It's called communication, not playing games and fooling around with a person's feelings.

Since you're a friend, I'd honestly correct her and tell her this is not the answer. She's going to end up hurting somebody one day just because she's pissed off or disagrees with what he's doing. And this is one of the reasons why trust issues occur. People play games and are not honest. And the one person he's going to be mad at him is you, because he'll remember your face. Also, he might take your pictures and do weird things to it. I mean who knows, when a person is messed with, they can turn out to be crazy people.

Something along the lines of 'I think there is a misunderstanding. First, we were not quite that close in order for you to ask such a favor from me. Second, the answer is no, I will not be part of misrepresenting you to anyone. Please don't ask me again. Third, the terms of service on Facebook (or almost any other site) prohibit this sort of misrepresentation. As I don't want to be involved in anything illegal, my answer is a firm no.' Wash. Rinse. Repeat until she gets it.

I once had a friend who asked to use my SSN to file on her business paperwork. I said an emphatic no. Our relationship has never been the same, but mainly because I don't need ppl like that in my life.

1) just dont answer act like you never got sent a message. If she doesnt believe it then..
2) tell her how uncomfortable you feel about this and how you dont like being used like this. Tell her that you dont want a relationship to be mislead and you dont want to get yourself further in the mess. Give her some advice. Tell her that she should confront him straight up instead of scheming and planning because that will get her no where in relationships.
3) if she still pressures you into doing that then straight up tell her no and that she should sort her own problems out with out relying on anyone.
4) btw why cant she go on google images and find random pics of ladys. Simple as

At least she had the decency to ask first.
