You don't have to accept every fb friend request you receive.
I once accepted a friend request from someone who I thought was on a TNT team I was associated with (come to find out, he wasn't).
He then sent out friend requests to all of the women (afaik, just the women) on my fb friend list -- I knew that because I suddenly received a bunch of fb private messages asking me "who is this So-and-So who just sent me a friend request?".
Turns out he was sending out friend requests to a whole slew of people (mostly women) he didn't know. He was basically a serial friender (I have other names to describe people like him but they'd probably get *'d out here
), just beefing up his friend list, I guess to make himself feel important. 
Harmless I suppose, but pointless and creepy, IMHO - I promptly de-friended the turkey.
Anyhow, nowadays if I get a friend request from someone whose name I don't recognize, I'll write back & ask how I know him/her (could be someone on a forum who I know by their screenname, or someone I've actually ridden with whose last name I simply had forgotten), and if I'm not satisfied with the reply, I simply don't accept the friend request.
