Business Solicitation disguised as friend request
 
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.

Sending you a PM to get more details.

I got one too. Same deal...Real Estate.

jackz 10-16-2011 09:58 PM

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

Mine was FBSO didn't open it just declined
What's up TOTV? How can the entire population get "junk mailed" using our TOTV names?

I feel left out, I didn't even get one.

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.

JenAjd 10-17-2011 08:40 AM

I got it too...just declined it!! Wondered what was up with that though!

Doodlegirl 10-17-2011 09:29 AM

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

TOTV Team 10-17-2011 09:23 PM

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
