> I'm a bit disturbed, I don't know why this is happening, but I'm almost positive their sniffing my email somehow, since that's the only place these "connections" have ever contacted me. Everyone you've e-mailed also has a copy of those e-mails in their mail accounts. If they give access to their mail contacts to LinkedIn, LinkedIn can now suggest them as connections for you, without ever accessing your account. No secret sniffing required. As for the invitations you haven't sent, that's never happened to me.
