"Twlv Eghty" on Facebook
My friend was telling me that she became a fan of Twelve Eighty on Facebook last week. Today she received a friend request from "Twlv Eghty". We tried to search them but nothing shows up, and we can't click the name. I assume the account was deleted.
But does anyone know what this is? Kind of shady..

Probably the same reason as all the other fake accounts and groups, to collect personal information.
Applications also collect personal information.

Oh wow, I JUST realized why it's called Twelve Eighty.
For like, half a year I've been reading and hearing about Twelve Eighty, and I've always been like 'Oh wow, what a random title.' Stupid me  |

Twlv Eghty is the Account which created the Twelve Eighty Fan page. It is legit, and it is the one who will be inviting everyone to the events. Become Twlv Eghty's Friend!
P.s. it is Twlv Eghty because facebook has some programme which tracks what they think are "fake names"

Perhaps someone can riddle me this:
If the MSU and SRA are so adamant on 1280 not being compared to Quarters, than why does it still come up on your mastercard bill as "Quarters Pub".
Perhaps the flaw is in re-hiring the same administration that ran quarters? You tell me.

It is has something to do with Mastercard. Not all of the bills you get from a company have that company's name in the title. I've had bills from Bell that didn't have the name Bell as the company.

I spoke to the VP Finance about this today. He will be looking into it, and told me to consider it fixed.

to be honest, if that is your only beef... that's a pretty good thing. |
