The problem has existed for decades though. I remember getting similar requests on ICQ, and that was back in the late 90s!
ICQ...there's a blast from the past, I would anybody whose ICQ I could find...
Back then I mostly used MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger and spent a lot of time in Yahoo Chat rooms...
I get the odd stranger friend requesting me on Facebook and Twitter, I sometimes friend request people who I may have a mutual friend with...I was once friends with Steph Houghton(England Womens Captain) through my mate who went to school with her and Neil Wainwright(Darlo player who my ex-girlfriend sponsored)
I used to friend request absolutely anybody, I have had 2 Friend Request Embargos placed on me by Facebook and was banned indedinately off Twitter for aggressive following(whatever the hell that meant) and for using 3rd party methods to get as many followers as possible.
