- inactive, on 11/26/2008, -5/+151Just like Digg users who claim to be women for easy Diggs/Friend adds.
- hellsing47, on 11/27/2008, -4/+130"If you're on Facebook, you've no doubt got a bunch of friends"
Oh boy... - PhishTahko, on 11/27/2008, -8/+98Uh, why the ***** would you add people you don't know as friends? How empty is your life that you'll add random people? If you get scammed in this way, you no doubt deserve it for failing at life.
- MScrip, on 11/27/2008, -3/+73I get spam in my inbox... but I'm not giving up using e-mail.
Just be smart, and don't accept friend requests from strangers. Or candy. - mmittimm, on 11/27/2008, -13/+62And this is why they never should have opened Facebook to people without university email accounts.
(Yes, I know, it was vital to their success....) - poutch, on 11/27/2008, -0/+43I went on a Flash forum to get some help a few times, without success. Then one day i tried posting with a woman nickname, many dudes were offering me to code the whole thing free. I wish i could fake ***** in real life..
- ProfessorLX, on 11/26/2008, -1/+36this happened to me a while ago, a friends account got hacked then the person sent me a message asking for all kinds of weird details. i pm'd them back and said talk to me in person and no problem (well for some of the details) otherwise no dice. a few days later his account was suspended.

- bigfatphony19, on 11/27/2008, -3/+34This is why my strategy of just not making friends at all is the best one.
:'( - Spartacusprime, on 11/27/2008, -0/+31The Internet: where the men are men, women are men, and children are FBI agents.
- doublefelix, on 11/27/2008, -2/+33I think the main difference is MySpace's retarded user CMS functionality that makes anyone who visits a profile there want to tear their hair out.
- jmpeagle, on 11/27/2008, -1/+32you know who else made analogies....Hitler

- WesleyD, on 11/27/2008, -0/+29Wait, what's wrong with accepting friend requests from Candy?
- TheXuu, on 11/27/2008, -3/+31Maybe thats why all of my friends i know in person?
- Lst01, on 11/27/2008, -0/+25f) when your friend informs you that some bastard changed your paypal password.
- vishious, on 11/27/2008, -0/+24Don't be such a pussy, this guy seems legit.
- PhoenixReborn, on 11/27/2008, -3/+26Seriously. Who still uses MySpace?
- below413, on 11/27/2008, -0/+23I had the same exact Indonesian girl thing happen to me. She friended a bunch of guys from my high school class, but nobody knew who she was. One of my friends ended up making a group called "Who the hell is (girl's name)?", but it was removed by facebook because it was "offensive" (which is weird because there are tons of "so-and-so is a retard" or "I ***** hate so-and-so" groups that don't get removed...). I didn't accept the friend request and sent her a message saying "hey sorry if i don't remember you from somewhere, but I only friend people I know in real life. Where do we know each other from?" This was her response:
THEN DELETE ME.. AWW NO NO I SHOULD BE THE ONE.
THEN STOP PRETENDING THAT IM INTO SOMETHING WITH YOU GUYS WITH YOUR CRAZY FRIEND (friend who made the group)!!!
Then two minutes later another message:
cdont accept me as your friend. dont make issues out of small things just because i added you. if you dont want me to be your friend here then dont accept me. as simple as that.
thanks
I actually also got 3 even crazier messages from another Indonesian girl who claimed to be the first girl's friend, and she also yelled at me. Silly scammers... - Farmer77, on 11/27/2008, -1/+24Not anymore.
- SawButter, on 11/27/2008, -0/+22You can trust me, my husband was the CEO of the Bank of Nigeria before he died in the revolution's riot and left 250 Millions USD in a private and secret account that we can open and share if you send me now 400 000 USD.
- KingGorilla, on 11/27/2008, -0/+21Stop being a pussy, those guys look legit
- coondog35, on 11/27/2008, -4/+25Solution: Don't use MySpace
- detcaderr, on 11/27/2008, -2/+23Unless you don't have a MySpace
Then all you have to worry about are fake Facebook apps and spammers that hack into your friends' profiles. - angryfirelord, on 11/27/2008, -1/+21There are no women on the internet, only FBI agents and Chris Hansen.
- idontknowmaybe, on 11/27/2008, -3/+21people who make fake profiles are creepy and pathetic.
- ninjaturtles1, on 11/27/2008, -0/+18Who can resist candy??
- KibblesnBitts, on 11/27/2008, -3/+21My ex-brother in law likes to create fake facebook accounts to stalk me....it's quite scary actually; he got me the first time because the poseur was friends with 20 of mine, so i believed it anc licked "accept", my friend was lucky enough to im me and say "I have no clue who the ***** this person is" so i defriended him. 3 minutes after defriending the person, i got another friend request from him
it's easy to do, so only friend people you actually know and who are legit - celkin, on 11/27/2008, -1/+19That is a very awkward sentence.
- Jareth86, on 11/27/2008, -1/+19"tee hee hee"
- inactive, on 11/27/2008, -2/+18ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..................
- yellowfish04, on 11/27/2008, -2/+18uhh, the whole point of this scam is that they pose AS YOUR FRIEND
so...you're not adding someone who you don't know, are you? - benroy, on 11/27/2008, -6/+20Isn't Facebook just Myspace for college graduates?
- yellowfish04, on 11/27/2008, -0/+14wait, what? does his obsession with you have anything to do with the fact that he's your -ex- brother in law?
- Hoogs, on 11/27/2008, -0/+14Those who haven't tried Facebook.
- Jareth86, on 11/27/2008, -2/+15Its simple, only friend people on facebook that you know in real life. Why do you need a million friends that you'll never meet or know?
- mmoore81oak, on 11/27/2008, -4/+17Wow - Journalism at IT'S finest.
yess. - MScrip, on 11/27/2008, -3/+15> "and you need a ***** website to do that?"
I don't NEED a website to do that... but it sure makes it easier.
I still go out with my friends, travel, and do all of the normal stuff. But that "***** website" is another way to communicate. Facebook doesn't replace anything... it just adds new ways to keep in touch... post something once and all your friends will see it. Look at their photos. Send a message, etc.
I still talk on the phone to my close group of friends, and see people on weekends. But now I can communicate with people who I'd have no other way to find.
My friend Carrie just had a baby. I haven't seen her in 7 years. Was I supposed to send her an e-mail every year since college and ask, "are you pregnant yet?"
No. My news feed said "Carrie is pregnant." And since then I've seen her wedding pics, baby pics, and all sorts of other stuff. She uploaded a bunch of old photos from college and tagged me in them. And we write short messages on each others Wall. That website actually enabled me to do things that I couldn't do otherwise. That beats writing a boring e-mail... assuming I had her e-mail address in the first place...
I'll say it again, I have lots of people who I'd like to keep in touch with. I spent 7 years in college, worked at Walt Disney World and other theme parks, been a professional dancer and instructor... I've met a lot of people. Any e-mail addresses from more than 5 years ago probably aren't active anymore. However, all my friends have Facebook.
And that's why I like that ***** website.
You can send out your monthly e-mail newsletter with photo attachments... I'll post my pictures on Facebook so everyone sees them. - inactive, on 11/27/2008, -1/+12what are you..
- diam0ndice9, on 11/27/2008, -3/+14It's an article from computerworld.com about social networking and information safety. What do you expect, a Master's Thesis on ending the conflict in Darfur?
- WesleyD, on 11/27/2008, -1/+12*Cue emo music now.
- nellyspageli, on 11/27/2008, -0/+10@theguesser10 no...its is possessive and it's is a contraction. you were probably guessing there. (see what I did there)
what makes more sense:
journalism at journalism's finest
or
journalism at journalism is finest
i'll give you a hint. one of them makes no sense! - MScrip, on 11/27/2008, -3/+13And what if alumni don't have university e-mail access anymore? You're suggesting that only current students and recent graduates can get on Facebook.
Who cares if 120 million people are on Facebook? I only know 500 of them. If snot-nosed neighbor-kid from across the street is on Facebook... it has nothing to do with me.
Maybe ARPANET should have remained between UCLA and the Stanford. - Pyroteq, on 11/27/2008, -1/+11@ Stormofswords
In pink font on a bright yellow background with some ***** emo music that automatically plays when viewing their profile and 87MB of .BMP's scattered across the page. - Pyroteq, on 11/27/2008, -0/+9Where do I send?
- MrTito, on 11/27/2008, -0/+9 I have 40 friends on facebook, and I know them all pretty well in real life or they are close friends of my close friends. It's not a god damn popularity contest. People who are so easy to find on facebook and are so inept to accept friend requests from people who seem vaguely familiar deserve what they get. Sorry, but if social networks are ever going to function properly then the users need to learn how to be cautious and responsible for who they let into their circle. That's not to say Facebook isn't responsible for cracking down on scammers, but being clumsy and careless is a weak excuse for being a victim.
- boner79, on 11/27/2008, -1/+10thanks for the heads up, this information would've been useful to me BEFORE I gave my credit info to all my friends with Nigerian names asking for it.
- diam0ndice9, on 11/27/2008, -1/+10A few months ago I actually had one of those 419 bastards messaging me ON FACEBOOK. I reported him immediately and his profile was deleted, but I'm sure he's still out there doing it.
