Advice from anyone please - (have also had Viagra ones and this is the only site I send off for anything from) but am posting because received this e-mail today:
Darla added you as a friend on Facebook. We need to confirm that you know Darla in order for you to be friends on Facebook.
To confirm this friend request, follow the link below:

Thanks,
The Facebook Team
- as am not a member of any social network site (obviously won't/can't confirm or allow) but how/where did 'Darla' or anyone else (unless it was something I sent off for on here) get my e-mail address from? This seems bizarre and concerning to me.
Explanations/advice from anyone welcomed - ta!0 -

Thanks for replying - but, no - don't know/have never been on any social networks/have not got a clue how they have my e-mail address or know who I am - don't know how they can know my e-mail/add me/or even want to add me when I am not on Facebook and never have been!!!!!!!!
Am concerned to how Darla or facebook have my e-mail address when I am not on the site?!
Thanks again for replying.
... and I'm sure Darla would add you if she (he?!) could!0 -
you don't have to be/have ever been a member of facebook- if someone has your email address and they join facebook then there's an option when they join to "import contacts" from their hotmail/yahoo/whereever.
If they had your address then they might've added you (possibly by accident as sometimes these things send even to people that you don't select)
I wouldn't worry too much about- it's almost certainly someone you know/knew- perhaps Darla is a nickname or abbreviation or perhaps it's someone you emailed in passing (maybe via ebay, a job application or any number of things)
If it really concerns you then the best thing to do is just hit delete
hope this helps.0 -

Thanks so much for replying. Still have not got a clue who Darla is (and am pretty sure if was someone I knew would know) but your reply does put my mind at ease - thanks!!0
