Someone must have signed up for you.

Who says they don't know the spicy stuff too?

That's probably a better description. Google is my friend. When FB
frustrates me, I Google my issue and usually find a work around right
away.

Like my orders from My Spice Sage? That's about as spicy as it gets. ;-)

I don't understand FB myself but my guess is that smart businesses will utilize Facebook and social media. My business partner has a fairly active LinkedIn presence. I asked him about it - he said he has a guy handle that for him. He was always smarter than I was...

I tried to order goods from someone's business website, but the
ordering page was broken. I emailed them via the website to say so and
ask if they would take my (specified) order by email, or snail post.

The owner emailed back to her unknonw prospective customer

"Sorry darling, the website order page broke ages ago but I haven't got
round to fixing it, just find me on Facebook and order there".

I found another supplier with more clue about professional service.

Unless he means requests. I get a lot of them. I think LinkedIn sends
notices to everyone in your address book. I find that intrusive and
would never accept an invitation.

I have a LinkedIn account and have myself listed as a recreational
activity consultant. A couple weeks ago I had an email telling me about
four job offers, including one for vice president of a bank. I usually
only get unsolicited job offers from the same sorts of emails that are
offering to transfer millions of dollars to my bank account.

I freakin' hate that. At the very least they could take the ordering
page down, if not the entire site down. Idiots like that have no idea
how much that sort of thing negatively affects their business.

Report them. LinkedIn is quite serious on whaling attempts. Their
account will be removed.
