Facebook pick-up 'artists'

And I thought my life is not interesting enough...

So, today I get this friend request. Since I don't usually accept people just 'cause, and I only have 3 friends in common with him, and I don't really seem to recall knowing the guy, I send back a message: Do we know each other?

I have used this method in the past to weed out people who might have made an error - they were looking for someone with the same name - or people who just look for random people, friend them and don't really react to that question, basically answering my question. When I know I don't know them, I just ignore the request and, when asked by facebook whether I know them or not, I answer truthfully - I don't.
