Unknown 'Frink" message when cleaning

I've had it too.

same for me ; very often ;
i was wondering what it means;

You guys need to pay attention to your "friends" list. This is the name of a player. He/she likes to graffitti instead of clicking on regular buildings. (Which is one reason I cut them loose, the other being that they are a massive house farmer.)

I've gotten it, too. Several times.

Ask SpAnSer. He would know.

Don't know if It's just me but Spanser doesn't seem to be around! I would also like to know about the valentines update but he hasn't said anything here or on his website! :-(

It's not the name of a friend. You might have had 1 friend graffiti you and another clean it up so instead of implicating the good deed cleaner upper, the game puts frink to protect the good.

Pure speculation

Wasn't till I saw this post had I not noticed that he wasn't my friend every time I clean town 'frink' is the name to pop up!

I've been Frink'd a few times as well, and it seems to me it only started since the last update (1/14/14).

At the same time, I've noticed that not all graffitti says "El Barto" anymore ... I can't take screenshots (don't know how on my Android fone), but in addition to the non-El Barto graffitti I've also seen graffitti in GREEN rather than red paint!

Anybody else get green graffitti?

I believe it might be due to having a neighbor's graffiti-ing a building in your SF, followed be a second neighbor cleaning up said graffiti before you've had a chance to. While I believe the 'Frink' message itself to be a glitch, I think seeing it is analogous to when buildings were haunted by "ghosts" during last year's Halloween event.
