Royal FB friend?

I had a dashedly handsome surgeon trying to befriend me on Facebook. I did a picture reverse lookup - it was the same face as on Facebook. I blocked the Facebook request because he is probably a scammer who is using a fake profile. 🙄

I had a request from Prince William 🤴 too!

I get occasional American Miltary types, sometimes commenting on a post saying how kind and interesting I sound. If I respond it is to tell them to get a life!
My 'people you may know' often features my ex husband and even the woman he left me for! Most are people I know vaguely or are friends of friends. No celebrities though!
The thing I have had lately is people randomly sending text messages asking me to add them on WhatsApp - I've had a few of those. Not sure what the scam is but I just block them!

I had the Pope appear about a week ago!!!! I’m not even Catholic. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I have had a friend suggestion today for Barron Trump.

I got one only yesterday from a retired US military man who was desperate to be my friend. I don't know why they're so often soldiers. If I was in the market for a man, which I'm not, a American soldier wouldn't be my ideal. I don't think we would have much in common, given my strongly left-leaning political opinions.

Why don't they try to branch out a bit? I would quite like to be chatted up by a historian or an archaeologist, but I suppose that might be a bit out of the scammer's league. How about a gardener? That could be charming. A bit difficult, though, if you're pretending to be American and the only gardening you've ever done is in Nigeria.

I had one from the late Pope but I had to disappoint him as I'm neither Catholic or religious. He was friends with someone I know though so I suspect it was a genuine request.

Fake profile,loads of them about.

I did get a 'silver fox' type US military man wanting to play against me at Words with Friends. Soon realised what he was after after a brief conversation and duly blocked him!

I’m another who gets fake US military men asking to be fb friends 😂

Just today I have received a Friend Request (not a Friend Suggestion) from someone called David Zachary from Nashville, Tennessee, with the accompanying photo of Paul Hollywood. Obviously a scam. The strangest one I have had was from an American man who, when I checked his profile (because I am nosy) had a long list o friends all called "Linda" which is my name, so he collected Lindas eh, not this one.

I always get fake US military men requesting to be my friend….. and they're always quite handsome. Delve deeper and you’ll find their friends are all Nigerian or they only set up their profile the day before!

I've had two friend requests in the same vein.

Shortly after my sister died I got a friend request suppodedly from her. The same shortly after the death of a close friend

I get lots of requests from pop stars though goodness knows why they would want to talk to me! these people who do these fake accounts they have too much time on their hands!

I'm not on Facebook, but I'm on Twitter and Instagram.

I very rarely have problems on Twitter, but they're always coming up on Instagram!

I've had King Charles' brother, randy Andy, sending me a Follow request. Whether it was him or a scammer, I don't know, but I deleted it anyway, as I can't stand him. It might have been because I follow both of his daughters on there - Bea and Genie's accounts are real -

While I detest the Trumps, I do like Baron, so I follow his true account, and a few WWE wrestlers, including Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Glenn ''Kane'' Jacobs, again, all genuine.

But I get loads and loads of the boring army/oil rigs/medical coming through, and they're all widowers with kids, who they don't see too often, never married or single, childless working the tills at Tesco!

I once had a photo of a hard-boiled egg as my Profile picture and had some creepy bloke from Africa with the most agonizingly painful spelling and grammar telling me he loves my photo as I'm a very beautiful lady with lovely short black hair and brown eyes! I actually have blond/grey hair down to my bum and blue eyes, and am quite ugly! Said he's deeply in love with me, while asking for money and passports and ''other'' things, as in intimate!

He wanted me to move to Africa so I could be his wife, and we would have loads of kids, and it would greatly please his ageing mother!

What he was really saying he wants a domesticated skivvy /housewife chained to the hot, dry land, his bed and kid care duties!

Freaks, the lot of them!

I believe they usually just want money. Good thing you didn’t believe him.

It's a fake account. I had a friend request from General Mark Millie, a retired US General. I didn't bother adding him to my friends.

Still no Prince William. ☹

"People you may know" look quite interesting, however!

Not that Ed Sheeran again?! He’ll do anything to increase his FB friends.He chased me for months, so you need to be strict with him.😁

I had Prince William last week.
Unfortunately for him
I'm too busy preparing to move house to accept the invitation.

😂
He’ll be gutted.

I'm not on Instagram or X but am on FB and have never been lucky enough to have friend requests from any of these high profile people!
Watch out now, they'll all be turning up like buses. 😁

I only really use FB for a closed charity craft group.
Was startled the other day to receive a ‘friend’ request from a Canadian cousin I’d never met until he more or less invited himself to stay over 10 years ago.

He stayed 10 days, was taken all over to see the sights, and barely ever put his hand in his pocket. And after he left, there was not so much as an email to say thanks. And not a word since.

So I don’t think I’m being more of a nasty cynic than usual, to think he’s probably angling after another freebie visit!
Needless to say, I won’t be ‘friending’ him!

The weirdest one I got was David Cameron. He obviously hadn’t looked at my timeline.
