People adding me to Facebook Groups w/out permission are pissing me off (here's what to do)

4 replies
I don't use Facebook much but I've got way too many quote/unquote Facebook "Friends" (I used to just approve anyone who requested to be friended in the beginning)...

The problem: Anyone who you've friended on Facebook can add you to any group they create without your permission. Facebook's default is that you start receiving emails from posts to that group unless you manually disable email notifications from each individual group (that you didn't want to be a part of in the first place). This is currently happening several times a week to me right now.

For people who use Facebook solely to stay in contact with personal friends this isn't a problem. But if you're in the same boat as me, here's how to remove yourself from these groups you get added to, and hopefully teach these obnoxious self-promoters that using Facebook Groups as a spam tool isn't appreciated:



Here's a link to the above graphic to either download or link to:

I'm pretty sure if the result of someone on Facebook adding 1,000 "friends" to their group without permission gets them 1,000 spam/scam complaints, they'll think twice about it next time.

PS - If you're one of the people doing this (building your Facebook Friends list so you can trick them into getting added to your Group)... stop.

    Thanks for the tip.
    It's true that this is annoying... Highly annoying.

    Do you use Facebook ? Then you can make money just by inviting people to a Facebook group ! It's called the Instant Income System. How cool is that?

    This will do nothing. Facebook doesn't care.
