What is that Facebook "Friends" Motivation?

Sandra Appiah is a curvy lady who wants to friend me. She friended two of my buddies and apparently they accepted because they showed as "2 Friends in Common". I never automatically friend anyone, so I contacted each bud and neither knew who she was. Go figure.

What got my attention besides the fact that I don't know her was that she had photos on her page on a bed, scantily clad with belts and Playboy bunny stuff in the room. Red flag anyone? But to my buds, they didn't seem to see it the way I did.

I sent here a note, "Hi! Where did you learn of me?"

And "her" response: "I am simply online looking for the Love of my life....someone to make my heart skip a beat...shake my whole being. A fairy tale that lasts a life time. Someone to adore and cherish....want to look at his face in the morning. That! A Man who is going to show me true love and passion. Respectful and serious intentions for a long relations and marriage. Trust is everything, honesty. Someone who I can share my day with and hold in my arms forever. THANKS HAVE A NICE DAY I HOPE YOU REPLY ME"

When she contacted me she had 12 friends. Now she has 18. All "dumb" dudes that have no idea that "she" is a scammer in an internet café in Nigeria. Why would anyone facilitate a scam by providing this scammer legitimacy by friending them?
