It's pretty clear what these pathetic women ( if they even exist!) are after. It just amuses me that they think I'm that gullible.

After a week, I got a message saying I had been banned for breaking their rules.
I had similar - apparently it is a requirement ot have a photograph, and in my 'alert' this was explained as the reason.

? I joined Facebook yonks ago, just for looking only, and I've not uploaded a photo and I've had nothing similar.
Indeed, I've given it very little info about me at all, just the mandatory fields: my name, DoB, gender and email address. That's it. No photo, and I've never posted and never filled in any of the other info they seem to like you to provide....

If you want to join and post in Groups then you do need to provide a bit more info.
If you create an account jsut to view info like the menu at the local pub or look up details of a band then you don't.

You think so? My immediate reaction to that kind of thing is "bot".

All about 'how to create a good profile' and trying to inflate contact numbers etc to show how 'connected' you are. I have to say it became a real pain particularly after foreign business trips I would receive a deluge of invites to 'link' from many of the people I had met just once and was unlikely to ever meet them again. Invariably I would not accept but this does become a problem with clients - who could take offence!
I always tried to keep my links down to around 100 or so - otherwise the requests became exponential as you get the 'request' to link up with someone who is linked up with someone you are linked with.

But could you not set up another account just for business contacts?
I have a friend who is a teacher in a secondary school. He has a FB account with his real, unfortunately rather uncommon name, which he ignores, and another FB account where he uses a very common surname, after informing 'friends'. It works very well. The sprogs at his school don't know where he is.
