I've never used Facebook before, so I thought I'd ask and see if somebody more Facebook-savvy then myself could solve a mystery for me. Today, we got an email stating that my son had four people requesting to be his friend at Facebook. My wife called me and asked about one of them - the person's name was the same as somebody I've worked with for years - she asked why he'd be trying to join our son's Facebook page. I called her back after a while and told her there were 21 other people with that name in Massachusetts alone, so it most likely wasn't him.
I checked with my coworker to see if he might have made the request. He said he doesn't use Facebook hardly at all and (as best he can recall) hadn't been on Facebook since April. But when he logged into Facebook we saw my son's avatar there, with no picture (we assume since its waiting for the "friend connection"). We also saw that his number of friends matched the number of friends in the email.
Is there some way to unknowingly put in a friend request to somebody's Facebook page? If so, how? My friend theorized that maybe since my email address was in his email account contact list, that maybe that had something to do with it. We were both stumped.
Any thoughts.
BTW, an interesting side point - one of the other four people in the Facebook friend request email was VirginiaHuguenot.
