The act of trying to befriend strangers on Facebook for the purpose of pursuing sales or other business “opportunities”

I’ve on occasion been approached with friend requests on Facebook from people I don’t know, have never heard of. Without exception, when looking at their profiles, they work in sales, marketing, or business relations. Just to be clear on this issue:

• If you haven’t crossed paths with me in the past, Facebook or any other social network is not the venue to contact me. While I might be in some Opera-related network or networks, it does not mean that I conduct my work through said network. Because I really don’t, and never will. I use it to keep in touch with co-workers, former co-workers and friends. Not to conduct business.

Thank you for understanding, Mr. Information Security Salesman.
