Any way to contact them by phone?
I'm getting added as a "friend" tonight by several people and I don't even have an account there. I'm thinking a buddy of mine has set up an account in my name is and playing a trick on me. What say ye? |

Quoted:
You friends may have chosen to let Facebook send invites to EVERYONE in their email address book. I declined that option, but some people accept it. IF they do, then it sets up a 'placeholder' account for you. It sounds like that's what happened. Oh, so he let them set up a "placholder" in my name, but I don't really have an account there? Then why is everyone I knew from high school suddenly adding me as their "friend"? Konger |

I, for one, am not a fan of my personal information, contacts, photos and messages being centrally located and tightly coupled with my real name and my friends' real names. I didn't trust it at first. But now I find facebook to be a very useful networking/communications tool. |
| Are you finding out about these new friends by email to you from facebook? if you are, the email address for the account is yours. Try to log in to the page, when you can't, click the "forgot password" option and they will send you new log in info. You can then log in, change password, delete or cancel the account and problem solved. |

I tried the reset thing and got this: Unregistered Email The email address you entered has not been registered. He must have done what a poster said earlier. Started a placeholder or whatever.

| Facebook has an option for its users to allow them access into their personal email allowing facebook to record all the users email contacts in their personal account and spam the shit out of all those people looking to generate new users by placing your email in their search and "possible friend database", guarantee that's what happened to you. Facebook = MASSIVE FUCKING FAIL, really bad idea for all those sheep to put all their personal and family info out for the whole world to see. |
