I THINK I'M BRING TROLLED

On facebook... I think I know who it is.

How do you find out (if you can) when they activated their account? My profile isnt public, only friends can see my stuff.

I keep getting requests from men and we don't have any mutual friends at all, and I've never seen or met these people in my life.

How do you find out (if you can) when someone is not.your friend, created an account?... so I got another one and i went onto this persons profile and noticed the pictures said it was updated 3 hours ago, and he only has 2 on there.

So not sure if that's when he updated it, or if that's when he created his profile or both?

Not a big facebook guru, I'm hardly on there, aND i usually delete the requests but this one was different.. Thanks in advance.

Look at their profile. Scroll down on their page and it should show when it was created. It's usually fairly easy to tell when it's a new profile because it doesn't have much on it. Friends, posts, photos, all very minimal if any at all.

I haven't accepted his request, so it's not showing me much. It didn't show me any friends, just a little bit of his bio, where he's from, occupation, etc.

BUT he only had 1 like on the profile pic, and I looked on that persons profile amd it didn't show me much either..probably bcuz were not friends. It also didn't show me her friends. So it pretty much gavee nothing to go off of..

I'll take you advice and see if I can find out.

Nothing , I see nothing on the bottom.of his.page.

Friends - it says "nothing to show"
Photos - says "nothing to show"

He has 1 profile and 1 cover photo....

So not sure if its giving me.limited info bcuz were not friends or he's a freaking troll.

Yeah. If you can't find out much because their page is so private, your best bet is to reject their request. Better safe than sorry. If they really knew you or didn't have anything to hide they would at least message you.

That's what I'm gonna do... I've had 3 others in the last couple months, whoever it is (and i habe a good idea now on who it might be) is gonna be disappointed once again.

Reject the request.
If they are genuine I think it's perfectly logical to expect a follow up message from them explaining who they are and a what's up how are you etc
It's basic manners and surely people still have those these days, hopefully...
Even in this fast paced social media/ online presence soaked age we live in.

None of the trolls sent me a message. Some of my actual facebook friends didn't either but I knew who they were atleast. Some did send messages though.

I rejected it, like the others.

Bingo!

I really don't know why people waste their time on Facefuck. What, you want to stay in touch with friends and family? Then use your fucking e-mail account!

Or maybe it's because, deep down inside, you know that most of those so-called friends are too lazy to e-mail someone they're supposedly close to. Sadly, there are too many insecure fuckers out there, who don't want to face up to the truth...

Real friends stay in touch, regardless of the medium.

Yep, I call or see my friends, communicate outside of facebook. I'm hardly on there, maybe a few times a month. It bores me, same thing all the time. I have friends on there like every hour. Don't know why.

Ya, it's not worth it, rejected the request.

I get requests from random fake accounts all of the time and so does my boyfriend. I don't think anyone is trying to troll, that just happens. Just ignore it. I get them every so often, I actually just had one the other day.. Some random girl with only 10 friends, was clearly fake, but it happens more than you'd think.

I thought that too for a minute. This one though was just different. Why does it do that without the person actually requesting you?

I don't like that, bcuz I don't want my account requesting people I don't know.

How do you mean? They didn't send you a request then?

One time I've had a random account start following me but not send me a request.. Is that what you mean?

I don't think yours will do that.. these accts are bugged and fake, yours is a legit account, I don't think this will happen to you. It's never happened to me.

They did send it. I thought maybe it was one of those automated accounts that just sends random people requests, kinda like how you can get invited to play candy crush on there. Automatically generated.

Ive only taken notice recently within the past couple months of these requests. I'm hardly on facebook to notice these things.

You can accept the request then browse through the profile once your content unfriendly them..
