The people who you sold stuffs to, they saw you on linkedin and tried to link you. Now here is the funny part - Linkedin asks them to enter your email id to confirm that they really know you. Bang... you receive mail on your craiglist email... Again, just a wild guess as I have received Linkedin mails on different mail ids including my official email id that I have not entered.... Lesson learnt. You dont need to share your information online. Your friends will do that for you. And some times, even people you thought know nothing about you will have that missing link that these companies can then use to join the dots .......
