Random dude claims he co-created my app

I can't help but secretly hope that there is more to the story: The author of the blog post we just read is actually the one who did not write the app. That the original app author is at this moment trying to figure out a credible way to say "No I created this app". Really, how clever would a preemptive "you stole my app" claim be to steal an app from someone!

Actually I don't really hope that, but I would find it far more entertaining.

Do not accept the friend request. It will only legitimize part of his claim (that he is a friend of the creator).

Judging by that guy's message, you had your app hijacked by a Gungan.

Report this incident to Facebook along with the note for friend request and move on.

Isn't that a blatant spam account, anyway?

I realize there are a number of cultures in the world, but Gcof-Kayode Horhlarnreignwerjoo Aliyu-Afg? Is there a culture where any of that name makes sense?

"G like Golf, C like Charlie, O, F like Frank, hyphen, ..."

"Now, even though the new application is basically anonymous, I still occasionally glance at the messages that are posted — basically as a QA measure, to make sure that it's working correctly and nobody's posted anything that has broken anything."

Is it normal for facebook app creators to monitor the data streams for 'messages of interest'?

dear author: I'm sure your privacy policy exempts you from any wrongdoing, but dude, wtf. You're also probably in violation of facebook's terms: "For all other data obtained through use of the Facebook API, you must obtain explicit consent from the user who provided the data to us before using it for any purpose other than displaying it back to the user on your application."

How bizarre, kind of sounds like he's trying rope him into a scam or hack attempt. I'd be cautious

I wouldn't even care to write to him in the first place. Whatever he claims, no one listens.

Uh oh, another case of internet justice about to come down the wifi?

YHBT. YHL. HAND.

All your app are belong to us.

"am very sowi" I think we have a new meme here.
