Replying to Facebook + New Job = New Spam Friends?

Alright, so I just moved out to Los Angeles and I've been applying for jobs for the 3 weeks now. I'm probably over 30 different applications. Before I moved out here, I never got any "spam" friends on Facebook. However it seems like that now I'm getting at least 2 a day, totaling about 14 now.How likely is it that these spam friends are actually companies out here? I have not been confirming any of them just because I think it's stupid. However I still don't have a job - correlation? Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this at all. Thanks.
