I found this in the inbox of a Gmail account whose address I never gave out in any way, shape, or form.

Hello,
Please can you invite me to join your friends network at Orkut.com?
My Name: J.E Fatuch
My Email: fatuch@ .com(deleted)
Thank you,
J.E
the guy emailed me too asking if i could join his friends network. so I emailed him back asking how he got my email. his reply:
I am Webdesigner, you can see my profile at Orkut.
As Webdesigner i have the ability to search some emails at Orkut and Gmail.
Il’d like to join your friend’s network. Reason: i need more
and more friends connected to me at Orkut.
GET THE INVITATION!
I got a similar one from a fatuch@gmail.com, asking me to join his friends’ network at Orkut.
Idem for me, but don’t you feel strange for a web awwarded designer there’s no url ?
I got the same thing, from a “secret” gmail account with a name that’s probably not guessable (not the one that appears on my webpage.)
