47% are 35% or older
35% of what?
Why, 35% of 100 years (or older), of course!

I dropped in just to see if there was a thread like this that explained WTF!
Yeah, somebody I've never met (like a robot) who has 10-100 friends and wants me to be one of them.
I knew the hot women were fake but who ever thought to impersonate climbers? HOw do they monetize having fake friends?
Peace

Sometimes the RIP stuff brings out some cool anecdotes from people on here that know or have interacted with the subject of the thread. Rather read that than the endless Polidrone. As far as LipServiceSpyBook goes what do you expect?

Yup. Pretty funny.
Are these robots sending the requests? Usually it is a hot girl, but lately it has been some dude standing in front of a mountain or whatever.
You know they're fake when there are only two photos, and the person just became friends with 130 people!
Incidentally, the dumbasses around here who fall for it most often and repeatedly, because I see their names on each one of these fake users' friends lists are:
Tom Evans
Ran Wenzel
Riley I think
Lots of you other guys who I can't remember!
Mike Stonewalker Davis who is a FB Friends Whore cuz he has 5000 friends and he must accept everyone without checking!
etc etc etc
So wake up and quit accepting these requests. It is probably through you that the 'bots are bugging me!

Seems I've been getting one or two a day. Yesterday I got one from a guy I'm already friends with, and it said something like, "see what SHE has to say." I've gotten that a couple times, also. Basically if there is nothing under their pictures (no info or old posts), it's a scam. No idea what they do once they are in!!! Someone or someones are obviously going to a lot of effort, as many of the pictures are pretty good!

Haha, here I am.
Yeah somebody made a new account in my name and then sent friend requests to every one on my friends list. Presumably the next step is spamming them with ads for sunglasses and other crap that has been going around for awhile.
I reported the account and Facebook already shut it down.
