i've got a couple lately, too. friended the first one because i thought she might be a girl i met and didn't remember, realised it was a fake account and blocked the next couple i got.

I dk man, it sounds like a scam especially since she keeps asking if you have a girlfriend. Try to actually talk with her, and ask her questions that require more than a yes or no.

I don't want to give you false hope, but I've seen a lot of scams before with chat bots, and this one sounds fishy, but it's missing some crucial elements for it to be that. That being said, maybe this is the new way the bots work.
A lesson without pain is meaningless for nothing can be gained without giving something in return.

surprised at the people telling you to continue chatting.

if not a scam then it's definitely a weirdo - pics are almost certain to be fake. think about it this way: if she were actually that cute would she be creeping Facebook for dudes in her area? and sounds like you don't even have your own picture as your profile picture - what would her motivation be to add you as a hot, single chick?

I've never accepted a friend request before from a stranger.

Actually it is a photo of me, but her english wasn't that good so she just called it an avatar. But yeah, you do raise up good points. I'm NOT going to meet her or initiate conversation, but if someone is catfishing me right now, i'm telling you, I've at least got to applaud their efforts.

This girl actually originally messaged me in chinese, and i told her i didn't speak chinese, and then she started using english. English wasn't very good, but still..

Like i said, if someone is catfishing me right now, I've got to at least appreciate their efforts lol

Pretty long preparation time seeing the creation year of the account.
it could be an account a friend had for a long time, though.

If the account was made in 2011 it is a pretty elaborate troll...

Also note if you're messaging from your phone and don't have location services disabled (on by default) they can see where you are when you send the message.

I don't see any problems with talking to her, maybe provide deliberately misleading information so they'll get confused, frustrated, or upset and leave you alone.

Yea... If I were you, I would delete her from my friend's list and possibly block her as well. Really seems fishy. And even if she is real and not a scammer/bot, would you really want to get to know a girl who looks up random people on FB to try to "be friends" or whatever? That screams out "desperate crazy girl" to me.

I just imagine you as a rat looking at a rat-trap with cheese on it going "Whoa, free cheese! This is awesome!"

Ok dude, the people here are right, its just a scam trying to catch lonely desperate people. Clearly this one has used the right bait. Hong kong really isnt that strange of a country for these things to be coming out of either, plus you can type random first names into facebook and get hundreds of peoples accounts up from areas nearby your own account, which is probably where yours came from. People being paid to make accounts will do so in various regions to broaden their potential.

Delete it, its a "scam".

I wasn't stating that this person was from hong kong in order to make the girl "believable." I was just saying that this wasn't your normal "hot tall blonde from ukraine" which we've all seen in porn ads haha.


Ive seen more from hong kong, i'll tell you that much.
Useless wet fish.

also this was basically the perfect analogy

think about it this way -- what is the upside of staying friends with her on FB? slim to none. downside to her having access to all your personal info and social network? huge.
