Thanks Mathieu, it happens that linkedin invite your mail contacts, not segmented by digital behavior, simply import the contacts from gmail, as in the tradigital marketing and becomes invasive, especially if you use it for the first time and do not understand how it works. Best regards José

Like I said, Linkedin has been the victim of hacker attacks recently. I received a bogus email supposedly from Linkedin, asking me to click on some link in the email. I forwarded it to the admin at Linkedin, and he said it wasn't from Linkedln. So I wouldn't blame it on them if some of their

It might be worth talking to them, though. Maybe they can block any emails going to the list from their end. Nobody should be sending invitations to a mailing list, anyway. David. On Tue, Dec 7, 2010 at 7:51 AM, David dfket...@gmail.com wrote: Like I said, Linkedin has been the victim of hacker

I imagine there is a big button that says Invite all your friends and colleagues, and when you click it, then LinkedIn imports your address book and starts working. Not something a warning would fix, as it only happens once. I would say block any emails coming from the linkedin.com domain.
