I just got a request to join a closed group on facebook from Rita Gonzalez. Figuring it was spam because I know most of the people who would want to join the group I checked out her profile. ROFL She has 11 friends and all but one are also called Rita - and whaddayaknow - they're all friends with the same exclusive bunch too. Good to see the spammer hasn't taxed his brain by trying to come up with unique names.
I really do not use FB much at all. What would happen if you joined this group? Rita would then have access to all of your friends/connections for spamming? Or they can spam you a lot more and a lot more easily? Or both? Or are there other benefits the spammer would gain?
Given what I've seen in the past with a bunch of "Alexis" accounts they want to spam sunglasses and only sunglasses. They target groups and not pages probably because once they're in a group their posts will be "allowed on page" at full size and not smaller like they would be on a page. They wouldn't have access to anyone outside the group. They don't appear to send friend requests which is the normal way to appear to be connected.
