Well, at least they're on Facebook and sending friend requests.

It is doubtful whether they are really naked and hot. This refers to the profiles on which you see scantily clad young women. Those profiles that blindly send friend requests and on which you discover supposed porn videos.

These types of friend requests occur again and again, and we're seeing more and more of them at the moment. There are tons of posts in the profiles that try to lure people to dubious dating portals. The profile pictures are all stolen from the Internet, and the names are of course also wrong.

Once a friend request has been accepted, they spam the new friend with dubious links to websites in the hope that he will click on them. If you follow the links, you will end up on paid dating portals. You should register here.

The friend request itself only serves as a lure. What is interesting is that you are not directed directly to the dating site, but the link from the Facebook profile leads to an intermediate website , which in turn directs you 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.

What can you do about it?

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. We have also observed in the past 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!
