There’s a good reason why we shouldn’t directly approve each friend request which came to our pages of Friendster, Facebook, Messenger, or whatever.

Coz we never knew whether the request sender really wanna be our friend or not.

Recently, my colleague, Harris, 26, sent me an instant message at Yahoo.

I was almost jumped in happy, coz he has never replied my e-mail for almost five years.

But as I open up his instant message, I got down.

He sent me an advertisement of Acai slimming pills of http://sizemake.com for five bucks which claimed been on air at Oprah Winfrey Show, and proved by a lotta people had succeed to make people lost 10 pounds in a week.

I felt pity to him.

Being a doctor doesn’t seem enriching Harris and he’d given himself to sell slimming pills.

I didn’t reply the instant message.

Coz I didn’t like Harris who didn’t reply my e-mails for years and finally instant-messaged me just to beg me to buy his pills.

Then a few days later, my friend Zack, 26, a cellular telecommunication staff, sent me the same instant message. I got offended.

This must be my fellas’ suggestion to say that I should slimmen my body.

But I’m not fatty!I’ve got a big hip, but I don’t need the damn diet pills.

I just need a little exercise, but how can I jog at Pulang Pisau here?

A lotta my neighbours have dogs as pets, which possible dying to join for running, and the state hasn’t been rabies-free.

Till then another colleague of mine, Indra, 26, sent me the same instant message.

I began suspicious. I know that Indra is so thin like an electrics pillar.

How could he be stupid to lose his weights that much?

My feeling said that Indra never know this pill.

And Indra, Zack, or Harris, might not send this slimming pills advertisements.

At the same time, my colleague, Robbi, 26, instant-messaged me to invite me to check out his holiday pictures that he’s uploaded at www.picture-maniacz.com.

I abandoned him, coz I didn’t wanna waste bandwidths just for viewing his and his wife’s pictures.

I know that it’s his picture at holiday with his wife, coz the instant-message wasn’t only sent by Robbi; but also by Merlin, Robbi’s wife.

They might’ve just already learnt a new photo website and they’re enthusiast to promote.

As I receive the same instant-message for the second time from Merlin, I couldn’t resist not to complain her. I told her to stop sending me advertisements, coz I was annoyed much.

Merlin swore that she never sent me the web advertisements.

She got the same advertisement from her Yahoo Messenger contacts. It seemed a virus.

How could someone spread virus by Yahoo Messenger?

It’s hard for me to explain it, but this usually began by someone who requests to be our friend.

As we approve him, the new contact will send us an instant-message contained a link, which gonna tease us to click it. We never know that the link contains a virus.

Once we click it, the virus spreads to the whole contact inside our list.

The modus doesn’t just happen in Yahoo Messenger, but also in Friendster, Facebook, and the other social net accounts which has membership system.

So if a stranger requests us, never approve him as a friend.

What if we’re really strange to someone and we wanna be a new friend to him?

Here are the tips:

1.Introduce yourself politely. Say your original name completely.

No need to admit as a Lindsay Lohan, coz nobody’ll make friend with a drug abuser who steal someone else’s man and now just become a lesbian.

2.Greet them with their names.

Then you’ll seem wanna acquaint them, not just send a same message to a lotta people.

3.Mention your real job.

You need to know that you’ll be rejected instead if you admit as a debt collector, coz they’ll assume you wanna charge them debts.

You’ll be rejected too if you admit as a salesman of a slimming drug, coz you’ll be assumed that you wanna promote your trade and that’s like calling them fat.

And never admit as a leader of a lost religion sect, coz you could end as getting showered by fuel.
