I recieved an invite on facebook, so I went there, the next thing i knew anyone that had ever contacted me whether I knew them or not who was in my address books for the last 15 years of being on the net recieved an invitation to view my page and photos and funny thing I never had photos on there..............I was very embarrassed by that. And now I recieve a dozen invites a day. So I know exactly what you mean.
