Does this mean I'm now one of the cool kids?

Quick note - I got 'friended' by what looks like a Russian bot. I looked at the account - boy does that look phishy - but haven't friended back.

I know there is a spate of it going around - so be warned and I'm sorry if they get you because of me.

Do you need pointers to the link to report it?

I'm actually bot-free for once.

If you mean the link that comes up when you 'hover' over someone's name/icon? Found that;)

If there are other ways - be glad to know. 'Spose it was a matter of time...

After five of them yesterday I still got two more by this morning. The conspiracy theorist in me says that since Six Apart is Russian owned they must be in on the botting somehow and that's why they aren't doing anything to prevent it from happening. *adjusts tinfoil hat*

Which looks so *dashing* on you!;)

I don't think it's a conspiracy - just bloody bad luck that we've been found out. Will keep an eye out for them mind.
