I checked my reminders on my personal homepage and saw a friend request. Usually I haven't found these as a cause for an alarm, and I have gladly accepted them as they have been real people who have actively taken part on the forums, and I have seen their posts and replies before. But now I feel a bit suspicious, as when I checked this latest request's profile page, I found out it has only activated yesterday and they have no posts, no threads, no replies, no PMs for me, nothing. Also, the username seemed to be randomly generated. What popped into my mind was that I have been reporting these spam posts here pretty often and maybe somebody wants revenge - a chance to send malware or something similar. Yet on the other hand, I thought that maybe I am paranoid and it's just because it's a fresh account.
So far, I haven't accepted nor denied the friend request. Has anybody had a similar situation? How did it turn out? Was it safe after all or did you end up with something unpleasant through it?
All thoughts and opinions welcome. Thanks in advance!
