I have received a notification of a friend request, but it is a business site (real estate) I don't know how to remove it. Appreciate your help in removing this request.

Me too. Deleted it when I went to the persons public profile and noted that they had never made any posts.

I did not get it, so, he/she must be doing it selectively. I don't think you can do mass requests, only one at a time. There should be a way to deny the request or unfriend the person. I'm sure Admin is taking care of it.

I did the same, just deleted it, and I didn't think about it twice. It was a real estate advertising promotion.

The site was not hacked. The user Central Florida FSBO signed up and tried to steal advertising from the site and was trying to contact members through the 'friend request' feature. The account has been banned. If you ever see anything like this please immediately report this to us and we can address.

Thanks
