• strange "friend"?

    Since I've been with Twitter, I've occasionally had messages like this,
    usually from female names - and ignored them. But I've just had one in Ancestry:

    Hi,I’m <female name>
    I apologize for intruding on your privacy. I was surfing through some
    pages on Ancestry during my free time when I came across your profile. I
    would like to express my desire to become one of your friends, if that's
    okay with you

    when I look at the details, I see joined "19 Sept 2023", and "is either
    not a DNA match or has not taken a DNA test".

    The profile has a picture, and it _isn't_ a blonde teen, like most of
    the Twitter messagers.

    To cap it all: "The user is not accepting messages", so I couldn't
    answer if I was inclined to! (Given the circumstances, I might have
    been, though "to become one of your friends" rather than anything about genealogy ...)


    Anyone else had one of these messages?

    1. If it's green, it's biology
    2. If it smells, it's chemistry
    3. If it doesn't work, it's physics.
