I'm big in the Philippines

Apparently so.

As of last night, I've received four Friendster 'friends' requests from teenaged girls in the Philippines.

I don't get it. Is this a joke? Is it a scam? Are they real? What do they want?

I haven't replied to any of them.

And they don't even seem to be friends each other, which makes it even more puzzling.

What am I missing here?

Is this happening to anyone else out there?
