I recieved the request from the koi place in CA also, I'm sure I got it because I am mutual friends that are there, and then they can tag on those friends. I usualy double check who I become friends with, did not have time to look them up yet. I do agree it is not the best way to get bussiness, and I'm sure that is the main reason they are getting friends is to promote themselves with the multitueds, kind of like free advertisement.
