This is kind of freaky, lately I've been getting this emails on my hotmail account:

Guess what? You now have 1 friend that has invited you to their mobile friends
network at SMS.ac, the most popular mobile community in the world!

At SMS.ac you can meet new friends, find that special someone to flirt with or
exchange messages via the Web with millions of users worldwide.

Friend(s) waiting for you to accept include:
Friends Name


Click the link below to see your friend(s) photos and accept their invitations.

http://www.sms.ac/registration/Intro.aspx?EmailAddress=myemail@hotmail.com&InvitorNbrs=27277175;r=0&t=4

Don?t recognize the name(s) above? Click the link above to learn more about the
friend(s) who invited you or to block future invitations.

SMS.ac,Inc.,7770 Regents Road,Suite 113-405, San Diego, CA 92122 USA

The weird thing is that I've been getting this invitations saying that people that I know sent them even though I know for a fact that they didn't. They use their complete name too.
For example I got one like this MymomsnameMomslastname@invitation.sms.ac and I got another from a guy that I haven't seen since I was in college 2 years ago.

How could this people get this names? Freakish. I don't even have a cell phone.

Anyone else getting these?

Yeah, i was going to post a thread on this a couple weeks back. The name looks familiar, like some girl from the Phillipines i chatted with a while back. The last one i got said that "she" was trying to contact me for the third time, which is true. But i haven't talked to her in a few months, and i'm not giving them my cell info.

Yeah, looks like some horrible information harvesting scam posing as a community hub. If my gullible friends want to get in touch with me, they can just send me a regular email.
