I just got a friend request from a member I don't know at all and who is listed as banned on their profile page. How does that happen?

Hello, there. Sorry for the inconvenience. May we know who is the member and when was the request sent to you?

Wanda, here is an example.  I got this friend request but it says member is banned.

Same thing here, too. I was a bit uncertain to accept it, but thought I can unfriend them if they prove to be harmful, so I did.

I posted here right after I got the notification. The name was something like Morrisboss, or Morrisonboss. It disappeared when I clicked No so I can't check it now.

Thank you. The profile photos look like they're culled from the internet, generic people but under studio lighting.

Hi, I banned him yesterday. So, if the request is earlier than yesterday, it is normal.

The member might be banned after the friend request had sent to you. Please report to us the next time you encountered the same issue.

No problem Diana.  Just trying to help you team figure out how a banned individual can still send out friend requests.

That could well have been what happened.  Thanks for the information Wanda.

You are welcome. Please let us know if this issue occurs in a way that was not supposed to.

Thanks for the offer, but I think I'm okay. Will bear that in mind if I get spammed, harrassed or something else though.

Anyway, thanks of the well-wishes and the offer for help!

Thanks for looking into it. It's quite a coincidence that three members, or more, who were about to be banned were sending out friend requests.

that same person sent me a friend request a day ago......I didn't accept as I wasn't sure I should.

It was a bit strange for sure.
