Anyone else getting loads of requests accepting your friend request and not sending any requests. 

I only have my daughter but the last 24 hrs I have had requests from all over

@ycwkpp898 Welcome to the Fitbit Community! I hope you're doing well! This is really odd. I suggest you change your password on your account following these instructions and monitor the situations for the next few days (I guess there could be a few invites left but if this decreases then it will be a good sign).

Let me know how it goes!

@PetiteP @ycwkpp898 I started getting a bunch of requests from random middle aged men a while back. I accepted the first one, because I actually got a request from someone I "met" on these forums who was not weird at all. So I thought maybe it was someone I was conversing with on the forums or who read my comments.

So, this guy starts getting really creepy really fast. And I learned my lesson. Block block block.

I wish Fitbit had some way of preventing this from happening. It's pretty much the only "social media" I participate in, and I really don't like being exposed like that.

I just re-read @ycwkpp898's comment. Looking at the pic, are you a man? It seems that maybe someone is hijacking accounts to creep on women? Though, why would you do that, when you can just make an account for free. You don't even need to buy a Fitbit device...

Thank you. This was an older man (I consider myself younger!) so I blocked
notifications. I'm pretty self-motivated.
