This is intolerable data mining by LinkedIn. FaceBook does the same thing.

Re: [time-nuts] Invitation to connect on LinkedIn
I just got the same one. searching my inbox turned up no contacts with Scott Dennis. apparently it's really easy to do stuff like this on social networking sites. I avoid all of them like the plague so this hasn't happened to me yet. -Eric On Wed, Jan 25, 2012 at 2:02 PM, J. Forster j...@quikus.com wrote: This is intolerable data mining by LinkedIn.

Re: [time-nuts] Invitation to connect on LinkedIn
I have had no contact with Scott Dennis either, AFAIK. LinkedIn went through his Address Book and/or Inbox and harevested all the email addresses therein, then spammed them all of them. -John == I just got the same one. searching my inbox turned up no contacts with Scott Dennis. apparently it's really easy to do stuff like this on social networking sites.

Re: [time-nuts] Invitation to connect on LinkedIn
It seems you can only block individual requests. Thus each time they get a new sucker and your email address is harvested, you get new spam. You have to unsubscribe else they keep coming. I used the LinkedIn help center to reach their contact form and requested to be permanently banned from their email server. The help center insists you search first for an answer, so just type in garbage and do a search to get past that firewall. I suppose I will have to blacklist them myself eventually.

Re: [time-nuts] Invitation to connect on LinkedIn
If enough spam complaints are sent to SpamCop, they might get put on the spam blacklist and their emails will get trapped in the spam filters. You can be sure that this spam will be repeated about every two weeks. -John = It seems you can only block individual requests.

You then select which ones you want to invite. They don't automatically spam your entire contact list or there would have been many such 'invites' here. The contact import is not automatic and cannot be as they need the email password to do it. I suspect Scott simply pushed the wrong button.

I don't think so. AIR, when you sign up for LinkedIn, it offers to harvest your address book for potential links. It's up to the user to accept.

Re: [time-nuts] Invitation to connect on LinkedIn
In case it was something serious with the list or with linkedin itself I looked into it. No worries. Scott sincerely apologizes for the mistake: Hello Tom, Yes, I accidentally unleashed a bot which mined my gmail addresses. I was horrified when I saw it had sent out 2,000 messages. I was trying to pick about a half dozen people.
