Face book and friend finder - abuse of privacy?

Why is that, my FB profile /wall and SEARCH settings is listed to friends only. Yet I had 2 friend request via my hotmail account??





I logged on to FB and using the friend finder thingy I seen the FB profiles of nearly everyone in my address book, some of whom ive never spoke to ( msn buddies and so forth).





So how the hell is hotmail connected to facebook??





I am using my uni email addy as my FB login and contact detail?





More importantly, I do not want my profile to come up if anyone seaches for me using friend finder.





im seriously thinking of closing my FB acccount.

Face book and friend finder - abuse of privacy?
They're faked. Even when I didn't have a facebook account, I got them. They're designed to get you to open them and do whatever the e-mail asks, if it's to let a spammer have access to your friends or just to have their pay click. That you actually have an account is coincidental.
Reply:My sister goes on face book all the time. I should ask her.
Reply:Close your account... facbook sucks... check out myWdot.com.... bit like a myspace but neat like facebook. take a look.
Reply:I think you can search using your email address book, so if you have your hotmail email addy listed then they can find you that way.


You could try emailing someone and asking them how they found you on there?
Reply:happened to me, only my identity was stolen. Beepin close it! I am still trying to rebuild my social status..
