Yup, they're everywhere. I got two "suggested" friends seconds after creating a new (bogus) FB account. Sad.

I've received a few requests as well. I've attempted to engage from my fake FB accounts but they seem to disappear quickly. With how widespread the scammers are throwing their nets I sometimes think someone will approach me at 7-11!!
