Q&A: How can I tell if a person received my friend request on Facebook?

Posted on June 19, 2023

Question from Kelly:  I recently sent a friend request to a friend of mine after I found out she’s on Facebook. It’s been over a week and it still says “Friend Request Sent”.

Posted on May 27, 2023

If you’ve had a Facebook account for more than five minutes you’re probably aware that scams and hoaxes abound on there.

While the scams can be incredibly dangerous, the hoaxes are usually merely irritating instead of being truly harmful.

The thing is, the irritation these hoaxes cause can become quite intense when the same hoaxes keep popping up over and over again.

Luckily, most of the hoaxes that pop up and make the rounds on Facebook include at least one phrase that’s always a dead-giveaway that the post is a hoax.  [Read more…]

Scam alert: Don’t fall for the “Deadline Tomorrow” Facebook hoax

Posted on May 20, 2023

Scams and hoaxes of all types pop up every day on Facebook, and some of them have a habit of rearing their ugly heads time and time again.

These recurring hoaxes are often more annoying than dangerous, but it’s still good to avoid them whenever possible.

I have received several messages over the past few days asking about the legitimacy of a recurring hoax that’s currently making the rounds again.  [Read more…]
