Default Friends Requests.

Would it be usual to receive a 'Friends Request' from a member that as far as I know I have not talked to or comunicated with via the forum? Anyone else had similar within the last few days? Regards, Paul.

I don't know how usual it is, but I received one the other day, also from someone I had never corresponded with or, from what I can remember, responded directly to any of my enquiries/postings. I have no reason to distrust him, although I'm not sure why he singled me out. David

Default Ditto.

My experience was the same as David's. Likewise, no reason to distrust it... but now you have me wondering if something odd was happening?

Accepting it gives them access to your album - assuming that you have it set to private..... Think about it.

Default food for thought

Hmm, interesting but I don't have any albums. Very little to gain by being my friend I'm afraid.

Bill and David, looking at your profiles you both have the ID listed who contacted me on the 8th May. Perhaps collecting 'friends' is a new hobby. Thanks for getting back to me, I had a hunch I might not be the only one contacted like this. Regards, Paul.

Default Friends?

Oh Oh! Now I'm worried! I too have had that experience in the last couple of weeks. what's going on? somebody on a phishing expedition? David J.

If you do not like it you can always disbefriend sounds a bit harsh but I had to to do it once. Cheers JB
