I honestly don’t even remember signing up for Bebo (it doesn’t sound like something that really interests me at all), but for some reason I definitely had an account there and lately Bebo started emailing me with new “friend requests” on the service. Up until about 2 weeks ago, I had never received a Bebo email and then suddenly the floodgates opened and it seemed like I was getting one almost every day.

So I went to check out the friend requests and sure enough, they were all spam. Not a single one was legit. And rather than keeping my account on Bebo to collect more friend requests, I decided to just cancel the account altogether. When I did that, I got an error because I didn’t include a reason for the cancellation which I thought was an optional field. I thought it was really stupid that they wouldn’t let me cancel without giving a reason, so I gave them a reason they could work with because I really couldn’t be bothered.
