Have you recently received more friend requests from very attractive women on Facebook? When it comes to a lot of bare skin and ultimately demands, alarm bells should ring loudly.

Anyone who neglects their privacy settings on Facebook will very quickly receive dubious friend requests from such fake profiles.

Because no matter whether Sabine, Marie, Jarmila, Kenya or Helene: These girls are not interested in you. Ultimately, they don't even exist; as is so often the case, it's simply about your money.

These include incoming requests like these:

Using stolen photos from the Internet, fraudsters create numerous profiles on Facebook and repeatedly send new friend requests to Facebook users. Once accepted, they spam the new friend with dubious links to websites in the hope that he will click on them. Here is a current example from “Sabine Beckenbauer”, who apparently doesn’t speak German very well:

If you now follow the link, you will end up on a paid dating portal that asks you to register. The friend request itself only serves as a lure. What is interesting is that you are not taken directly to the dating site, but the link from the Facebook profile leads to an intermediate website, which in turn leads to the dating site and inserts a commission code. The owners of the dating portal can therefore see where their flow of visitors comes from and who they have to thank for it.

This means: Whoever creates these fake profiles also receives a commission for every registration on this dating portal.

You can stop this crap!

Such dubious friend requests can be curbed somewhat! To do this, simply click on your friend requests (1) and “Settings” (2). It is very likely that many users have set this up so that any other user can send them a friend request. This happens when “All” is selected here. Now switch to “Friends of Friends” (3) and you will no longer receive friend requests from these fake profiles.

With this method, you will only receive friend requests from people who are already friends with one of your contacts.

Facebook is already reacting to this

What we can observe is that Facebook deletes such fake profiles very quickly.

So our request:

Report these dubious profiles before deleting the request. It would be nice if Facebook would act so quickly and correctly in other areas too!
