I suspect that there's more than one campany doing this kind of acquisition and it's straight up nasty - social profiles and msn chats. A dead give away is usually when they add folks, check their profile and if they only know a dozen Andrews, DAns and nothing else you've hit paydirt. Thew Bebo one's are classic, especially the profiles. I get this kind of stuff on Bebo and it’s all for sites like litteblackbook.

I considered Linkedin a safer haven than most other networking sites. I wonder if you reported this to the support n warned others through Q&A. I'd be interesting to know how they follow this up.

They are obviously going after the uber popular people such as yourself. I haven’t received anything, but my number of connections is pretty limited.
