    I got a strange message on Facebook. I am not sure how he came to know my FB account, since I did not post it on Hubpages. He is enquiring as to Owlcation. He is aware that I write for Owlcation, but it sounds as though he is not known what HP is. I don't know who is he and where he is from, but judging by his face, he's from South Asia.

      There is somehow a similar story like this in the forum before, I forgot the forum post but they mentioned that they also received a similar kind of message but through an email. I agree with @theraggededge, do not reply. It's really strange.

      Ignore the message. It's just spam. We receive this type of message to team@hubpages.com all the time.

    Do when we share our articles with the 'shorten link' or otherwise factor this kind of problems?                                       I've received emails with my hubpage email, that's not associate with my facebook account. But the emails mostly comes from facebook.                                           However, I don't responded to any email, I'm not expecting, or that which I've not configured the email address with my laptop.

    I've even had people ringing me up on Skype, wanting me to be their tutor or kids on Facebook wanting me to do their homework. Just ignore anything you don't like or block as suggested.

    The HP team needs to be aware of this man. He is defrauding people using HP. I come across his profile and see this:

      Maybe you should email the HP team about this. This is a little alarming.

      It’s amazing the amount of effort someone will put into a scheme like this. You’d think they’d wake up and smell the coffee—they could be using their efforts for something appropriate.
