On 3/6/12 9:10 AM, Linked-In, pretending to be Al Soenke, wrote and wrote and wrote:

I'd like to add you to my professional network on LinkedIn.

Looks like Al got phished by LinkedIn (or he voluntarily gave them his credentials to let them crawl his address book and spam everyone on it).

I got four of these to various email addresses and this one to the list.

Please be careful. Now LinkedIn will forge Al's address on its own communications, reminders, etc.

If you want to invite friends to a social networking site, then invite them individually. Don't ever give your email credentials to anyone, especially these sites.

Remember, you are NOT the customer of LinkedIn, Facebook, etc. You are the product.
