So Who Randomly Friends People On FB?
So, on Facebook, from time to time, I get seemingly random Friend Requests. They are not friends or friends of friends. They are just random people from other parts of the country or world. At first I thought maybe it's someone thinking I am someone else. But when I look at the other friends on their profile to see if maybe I know someone, they all appear to be random people.
So does anyone here do this? Would anyone even accept a random Friend?
It's not like FB is Xbox Live. FB is for real friends and family to keep track of me. I would never just randomly FR someone. And I won't accept a random FR. Heck, there are friends of friends I have turned down simply because I didn't know them well enough. I have to make sure 100% who someone is before I put them on my Friend list.
I think if you use FB for it's intended purpose, you're playing with fire by Friending people you don't know.
Am I alone in thinking this way?

Absolutely not. I've seen more than a few of my FB friends fall victim to some random person friending them that turned out to be a scammer/hacker that posted links that compromised their accounts.
I find that I use Facebook less and less now. Too many adds, and the fact that they can use your info/profile picture for advertising really puts me off. I understand that they are a company and they need to turn a profit, but they are going about it wrong. I would gladly pay a reasonable monthly fee ($15-$25) to get an add free/more private Facebook account.

Re: So Who Randomly Friends People On FB?
Anymore I use my fb for reptiles. Mostly reptile groups I'm in or what not. I have family too, but usually I'm just looking at local animals for sale or sharing information.

Slightly off topic from Chris's original question, but I think it all comes down to what you want to use it for. I have a business page on FB, but not a personal profile. Part of it is because I'm an introvert and am turned off by all the drama I hear about when someone's "status" gets changed or they're unfriended, etc., and part of it is because I already have this forum, three email addresses, a website, and a few others to keep up with, and it's enough!

I only accept requests from reptile folks . I they don't have mutual friends. Or if they don't have a single reptile picture or mention, I won't accept it. Nobody random out there thinks I'm so hot that they couldn't help themselves from sending me a request. LOL
