I brought this up before.....this has been happening to me for awhile now. I'm also getting "FRINK" a lot instead of a name. I freaked when it started happening, thinking these odd names were people getting logged into my town in error and were spending my donuts! But, that's not happening.......I never see the odd names come up when tapping handshakes. WEIRD!! And it's only happening in one of my towns.

OMG!!!! I wasn't going to say a name, but now that it's out, I'm going to...

I started my own thread, not realizing that another thread already exists. I was sent here by another member so that I could read the posts.

And now... I'm FREAKING OUT!!!

Today, I was visited by 'FRINK'!!!! You and I aren't neighbors, and with all the players there are, HOW IN THE WORLD could BOTH of us be visited by the same non-neighbor???

This is weird. Very, very weird!!! :shock:

I have also been visited by FRINK, also by FRIEND and a few other people and not just once but numerous times!! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one. And it's only been since be been on this forum. Ever since the fiasco they called the Xmas event, and me coming on here to express my severe disappointment in the issues the game had causing many of us not to be able to finish the event, I have had these two names plus a few others keep showing up in my town. I go to try to remove them from my neighbors because they keep vandalizing my buildings and I CANT! They're not my friends to remove!! I don't know what to do, my town was just starting to get better since I had removed the people before that were vandalizing me, now I can't even remove them... I'm just really getting sick of this game not working correctly! GET IT TOGETHER EA THIS IS RIDICULOUS!! Put some of that money you make from donut sales into the workings of this game, and not just more buildings you can sell for donuts I'm talking about bugs and connectivity issues. :roll:

Are you familiar with the concept of "bots"? Computer-users, not actual people? That's what these are.

They are part of the game system for people who don't create neighbors. If you have neighbors, they are not really needed but there's no way to shut them off.

Consider them gift taps from the system. They are free extra handshakes and nothing to get so worked up about.


EA has plenty of bugs to correct, this is true. But at least this one is a benefit, not a detriment to game play.

Keep calm and tap on!
