    I have about 10 of these in my requests right now. Always low follower/ing count or obviously botted followers.

    Yeah I get em too. I don’t think it’s a scam necessarily, sometimes they’re just doing marketing. Of course the moment you have to pay anything, it’s a scam.

    Yes, when their account has nothing related to sunglasses, and all their posts are stock images of different women facing away from the camera. They’re just harvesting personal info. Probably good idea to block them.

    biggest one is the ones that promise to send you shit but just pay the shipping fee. The product probally cost them cents and is usualy junk but they will charge you 2-30$

      As a general rule since facebook, I don’t add people unless I’ve met them in person, first.

    Not always… I humored these people once. They sent me some kind of beaded bracelets meant for couples. In turn I was supposed to send them pics of us wearing them. I got the bracelets and never sent them anything. So it might be real but it’s just them spamming to spread their brand.

      This is what I thought first, but I tend to trust people for no reason.
