Getting Friend Request Spammed What Is Going on???!!

[ADAMMYMAN]

I have a throwaway 1 year account on FB. Recently just joined a couple of affiliate marketing groups to try to comment some then next thing I know all hell broke loose.. I am getting like 10 requests per minute.

WHAT IS GOING ON!!!!!

I am getting friend request spammed!!!


In 1 day I got to 50 friends!!

Anyway to stop this?
Or how can I earn off of this? Lol

Now I am at 44 pending requests lol

Me trying to know why they sent me a request.

Did you do anything to help grow that account? Ex: shoutout?

Settings > Privacy > Who can send you friend requests?

It also happens on IG. Certain groups and pages are just targeted by those looking to grow accounts.

No nothing

I joined these groups and since then I am getting non stop requests

I see that could cause it, is this a personal account? Also I would change your settings so you cant receive requests for an hour or so to see if it stops.

Luckly no it is a fake throwaway account nearly 1 year old. Everything is fine now. My personal account is 11 years old.

But is was very weird. I thought I was getting spammed. I am still getting requests but not at that crazy rate plus I muted notifications so it doesnt bother me.

Yes I can easily change my setting to none can send me requests.

If you don't know why you are getting so many request or haven't done anything significant lately on FB, its better change the settings as suggested above to ensure you don't get unnecessary request.

I will do that.

In fact that account I will use to comment in groups to market. I dont need to add anyone.

Also want to know is a 1 year old account safe to comment spam in groups without getting banned?
