Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

one thing I do know is that even if they do call the police and say you are dealing drugs, the cops do a complete investigation into it before they ever come knocking on your door. They don't just take someone's word for it, so if you have nothing to hide, then there is no worry. Take stuff like that with a grain of salt, its just scare tactics.

From Snopes:
CLAIM
Facebook "pirates" perpetrate scams by setting up look-alike Facebook accounts that copy other users' profiles. See Example(s)
EXAMPLES Collected via e-mail, December 2012
WARNING!! Some hackers are now taking your profile picture and your name and creating a new FB account. They then ask your friends to add them. Your friends think it is you, so they accept. From that moment on they can say and post whatever they want under your name. Please don’t accept a second friendship request from me, I have only one account. Copy this on your wall to keep others informed.
New scam on Facebook … There is now “Pirates” who copy your profile picture and asks for friendship in your name with a new account. Do not accept any requests in my name since this is my only account … Thanks to all … Copy this post to the wall … Recommended to all your contacts
Please be careful: some hackers have found something new. They take your profile picture and your name and create a new FB account. Then they ask your friends to add them. Your friends think it is you, so they accept. From that moment on they can say and post whatever they want under your name. Please don’t accept a second friendship demand from me, I have only one account.
Heads-ups!! Almost every account is being cloned. Your picture and your name are used to create a new facebook account (they don’t need your password to do this). They want your friends to add them to their facebook account. Your friends will think that it’s you and accept your request. From that point on they can write what they want under your name. I have NO plans to open a new account. Please DO NOT accept a 2nd friend request from “me”. Copy this message on your wall.
RATING
PARTLY TRUE
ORIGIN
Warnings about Facebook “pirates” who copy other users’ profiles were circulating widely on that social media site in December 2012 and have reappeared periodically since then.
It is true in a general sense that some scammers have engaged in Facebook cloning, a process in which the scammer creates a new Facebook account using a profile picture and similar name taken from an existing user, then sends out friend requests which appear to originate from that user. (The requests often claim the sender has just set up a new Facebook account or was locked out of his previous account.) The end purpose of such scams varies: it may be to send Facebook users links to malicious websites that propagate malware, to perpetrate phishing schemes, or to collect personal information from users that can be used for identity theft.
However, contrary to the example text reproduced above, Facebook cloning is not a “new scam,” nor is there any evidence that its occurrence has increased greatly in recent days. (It also isn’t a “hack,” as the scam requires no special privileges nor breaking in to any Facebook accounts to accomplish.)
In general, Facebook users should always be cautious with friend requests: attempt to verify their validity before accepting them, be wary of additional requests from persons you have already befriended, and take care about what information you share with friends on Facebook.
