My wife never, ever accepts friend requests from people she does not know or does not interact with on a fairly regular basis.
Over the past week or so she has had three friend requests that she deleted.
I hear her laughter each time she gets one.
All were similar. Widowers in their 50's. Attractive. One or two were veterans complete with uniform pics, , etc, two professionals the other one listed secure employment etc. All listed similar like.....music, long walks in the park/beach, international travel. All the softly, softly, mushy mushy stuff that might appeal to some 'marks'. The only thing that is walking or traveling internationally is the sucker's money.
As my spouse said, she is in her late 60's. Why would any of them be interested in an old lady like her?
Well, perhaps not her but probably her credit cards or bank account!
Fortunately she did not just fall off the pumpkin truck last week. I sometimes wonder what percentages of hits these fraudsters actually get by doing this.
