1277635 2012-05-27 04:55:00 I entered a contest - all up-n-up and br a reputable source, and I had to join FaceBook (yeah - it gets worse) to be part of the final 100 in a national drawing for a $5000 . 00 prize .

All of a sudden I am besieged with people whom I knew and don't want to know again . They were in my life about fifty years ago - some are psycho, others are just nuts .

Some are living as hippies (yeah - they still exist, mentally) in caves in Oregon and some are not people whom I want to ever see again .

Where did FB find all these people and how are they being keyed to a search I did not make, don't want to make and want to forget about entirely?

At the very least, how do I control this anomaly?

1277637 2012-05-27 05:05:00 Sorry, I guess that's not very helpful. You can delete contacts through your profile also check your privacy settings and make sure they're set to friends and family only.

1277638 2012-05-27 05:13:00 Lots to learn here - yuck!

I mean - I haven't had any communication with one guy for at least twelve years and that was on an IBM Stinkpad 386 that long ago became a doorstop.

How'd it resurrect that info? C'mon - this is just spooky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
