(1) They don't usually these invitation thingies;
(2) We usually share pictures (and tags) on facebook.
Therefore I didn't click on the link or whatever in that e-mail... But, after a few e-mail "reminders" I started feeling annoyed. Hence today's search on Google (note the impolite search term).
Top search result: http://cnnmoneytech.tumblr.com/post/1659806146/what-the-hell-is-shoppybag, quite a nice read, really: Entertaining, while also clearing up any doubt.
The e-mail account hacking/phishing/whatever-you-want-to-call-it is, I am highly convinced, independent of the shopping website www.shoppybag.com (Rank #6), which is a genuine website on which (I quote) "Friends Help You Shop". Until... I read the tweet (Rank #5) which said that ShoppyBag deceived the guy into giving information allowing access to his mail contacts.
This phenomenon apparently annoy enough people to get its own wiki page (Rank #7)... Amaaaaaaazing! And the wiki page also warns people out there to be careful when you sign up to ShoppyBag.
Apparently, the only real safe way to have friends help you shop, is to just ask them out on a shopping date! How simple is that? And absolutely no frills.
