I keep getting friends requests messages to my phone for people I’m already friends with and my Facebook account shows nothing supporting those requests. I just delete them when they pop up just curious if others gets the same requests.

Yep, someone along the line has been hacked. Happens all the time.

They're not hacks. It's a clone account.

Basically what they do is download your profile picture, attach your name, then send a message request through a phone. You don't need a facebook account to have messenger. Just the messenger app.

My wife has no FB account, but uses the messenger app on her phone.

I think they can get more info on you if you are friends with them. Or they send a message on messenger after you accept it because you don't catch which one sent it. Once you open the video or whatever they send they get hacking info on you.

I have heard if you have had a Facebook account and even if you don't use it for years , it is still tracking you. I even have heard even if you completely delete it , it is still there tracking.

I don't know , never had a Facebook account, never want one either.

My wife signed me up for FB. I've never gone on. I keep getting these messages that say things like, "A lot has happened since you were last on FB."
That's funny since I've never logged on.


The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.
