Thanks for the heads-up Alan.
I got the same request, I am glad that I read your email first.
Cheers!
Tim

Just a warning; David Bartsch sent me a friend request; he was already a
friend so checked out the new facebook profile & alerted David that someone
had cloned his profile.
He has friend requested a couple of psub people so giving you a prior
warning.
I have come across this a number of times. People copy your profile picture
& info & set up a new facebook account with your name. Then they friend
request your friends. For what purpose I do not know, but it gives them the
ability to ask your friends for money or insult them under the guise of
being you!  They can access your friends friends list & continue the game
with others.
Or even worse they could use it for political propaganda!
Alan
