Friend Requests And Spam?

FB suggests all these people for me to friend. I send a friend request to many, and some spammed me. I was blocked as a result. It upsets me because facebook suggested these people to me, yet I am being blocked for doing what they suggested. Please help out. I want to contest this block!

It suggests that you might know them because you have friends in common. However if you are sending friend request to people that you don't know, you are going to get denied and they will hit the spam button. If you did that multiple times, then facebook made the logical assumption that you are spamming. Moral, don't send friend requests to people that aren't your friends.
