I don't understand - at which point did the blog author hand over his email address? You can't get it from Facebook unless you specify a separate permission that isn't shown in the accompanying screenshot.
I gave them my email in the sign up process, but that's not what you should be asking about. The issue is them emailing me before I signed up. I don't know exactly how they got it, but I am guessing it's that one of my friends imported their email contacts which included my info and "made me a profile"
When you click on the link and then permit them to see your Facebook profile, and add your email contacts, you can bet their scripts get busy right away creating 'profiles' for all your friends and sending them spam as well...
