I've never had a FB account, but some years ago I got an email from FB listing a number of my friends and family and saying, "All these people have FB accounts. Wouldn't you like to join FB?"
The email included a reply option labeled "don't contact me again," which I chose and then replied. But a few months later I got the same invitation.
Needless to say, I found that to be deeply disturbing, and it confirmed my determination to never subscribe to FB. Later I learned about the phantom accounts. I'm sure FB maintains a dossier on me to this day.
I'm curious how it got your email -- and decided to use it. I have several publicly visible emails, and they've received plenty of spam, but none from FB like that.
I know it suggested my ex-girlfriend as a connection when I opened my account, five years after we'd last talked.
