I received an email from invite+kr4mywsyeg2r at facebookmail.com inviting me to be a friend. It had some people that I know that don't know each other in the email as existing friends. It was as if a virus got my address book. The thing is I have had no contact with the people on the list and the guy inviting me and they don't know each other. The guy inviting me was a customer who I quoted in 2009 and haven't emailed since. I'm the only common link
The thing is, being on Linux, its unlikely I've had my address book stolen by a virus. Also, all of the people shown I haven't had contact with in at least one year. facebookmail.com redirects to facebook.
Everything about this says spam to me, but I can't figure out how the got me and the grouping of people with facebook accounts. I don't and never have had a facebook account. Oh, it came into my business email which my client would have had but I don't use for anything on the web.
Anybody have any ideas what happened here?
