Andy,
Yes, most likely coincidence, I would say the other person you don't know is
known to your collegue.
What is it: we are supposed to be only 7 handshakes around the world. Meaning
that within 7 friends and friends of friends you can go right around the globe.
Regards,
Mike

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,
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.
Regards,
Mike

Hi all -
I received an email to join a colleague's Face bookk page; I haven't yet
done so, and don't even have a Facebook account. 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?
Andy
