bradsmaroo Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I wasn't quite sure where to post this and also couldn't find a similar topic (sorry if this has been brought up by someone else) but this past week I've been getting odd neofriend requests. When I check their user look up, the account has been disabled. The request is max 12 hours old. I find it troubling that someone would create an account, neofriend me, then deactivate it. Has this happened to anyone else? I'm assuming it's some scammer/hacker/bot tactic, but haven't seen any info about it elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamer_mommaof3 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I've been getting the same thing. I just got two of them today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeta61 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I have received 2 requests in the last few days from people I don't know. Finally I blocked one name but I doubt if it will do any good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neopets9738368 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Same here. When I checked the accounts, they were frozen. I'm sure they're frozen for a reason. Blocked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradsmaroo Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 I blocked all requests (I don't know anyone, anyhow, I like being a loser!) I don't know anything about the other "scares." Once again, as selfish as it sounds, I'm glad I'm not the only one :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubit Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 My guild said that the reason why they don't exist is because they would have originally had not-allowed links or pictures on the userlookup, so TNT freezes them pretty quickly, so by the time you go to check who added you, they've already gone. Like others have said, just getting an add and even searching for the name should be fine, even if it is a little annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venus0523 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I too have had several over the last couple weeks and 2 today already. It's good to see that TNT is catching them so quickly, but I think I will also go block friend requests for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I've gotten six, they're like similar sounding usernames for the most part right? I was about to submit a ticket because I was scared for my account. I feel a little less worried knowing it's not just me that's being targeted.
