FoxNews.com offers a scam alert dealing with false friend requests.
If you get a Facebook friend request from someone you're already friends with, chances are it's a scammer.
Here's how it works:
A nefarious individual recreates a person's Facebook profile using their profile photo and "About" information.
Then, the scammer sends "friend requests" to all of the targeted person's Facebook friends.
Experts warn that someone could learn a lot about you by gaining access to all that's on your profile, like status updates, location, date of birth and photos.
