Hi everyone,
A few days ago, I saw a new friend in my friends' list: glimpsy7.
I had never heard of him so I removed him from my list. Weird but anyway.
Today, when looking at the Awards section of my profile, I see that I got the "Successful Referral" Award 8 days ago for the following reason:
Thank you for referring your friends to Chess.com! glimpsy7 has just joined the site because of you!
How could this guy be included in my friends' list without my validation and how could he "join the site because of me"?
Is this a bot or something like that?
Thanks for sharing knowledge!
That account was closed for abuse.
Ok, thanks for your answers.

Somehow @Glimpsy7 was even able to friend accounts that were closed, @elveztiney got friended by glimpsy7 despite having been closed months earlier.
