FB friend requests

Today for some reason a had a wave of add as a friend requests on my Facebook account - a bonanza of over 10 requests within a day. Some accounts appear legit, others not so sure. Is this a known issue? Brandmeister^talk 14:31, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Watch out for fakes, even using a friends picture. You can ask your friend in real life if they sent a request to see if it is legit. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:51, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

I always try. But never had such a wave before. Probably FB's recommendation algorithm going berserk... Brandmeister^talk 09:42, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
