Hi Mike - Firstly, it is a genuine request from a colleague, but like you said, could be that she is using her address book to try and get all her contacts to join her on Face Book. What confused me, was how at the end of the email, there was a message from Face Book offering me some links to people already on Face Book, that happen to be in my contacts, only 4 of them, but I wondered how they could see in to my contacts at all? They also gave me the name of somebody I'd never heard of, and who isn't in my contacts. I don't think it's anything to worry about, just wondered how they knew some of the people I know - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Moore To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, July 15, 2010 6:51 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Facebook Andy, Your collegue may have sent you a request to join Facebook, so would be worth asking him to check. Sometimes you can send requests out to all of your email contacts, so if he did so, it would have reached you. Regarding the other contacts, would your collegue also know them as well? if so, they are probably selected from his list of friends randomly and it is coincidence you know them all. Note: A good rule of thumb, do not reply to links in messages like this, if interested, create an account on Facebook and seek out your friends this way. Hope this is of help.

Thing is, at the bottum of the email, it said other people on Facebook you might be interested in joining, are: and a list of 5 other people, all of whom I know, but how does the Face book email know I know them?
