I think thats a bit harsh on the OP - very few of us could honestly say we've not done some FB stalking in our time....:o
True, but it does sound a bit odd that she got one email request from a man (possibly the first contact in 15 years), she 'felt stalked' so her first course of action is to stalk him on FB.
Thanks - LinkedIn is a business network tool - you can put your CV - that sort of stuff on there. No, given my email addy has changed since then, he would not have it so he deliberately looked me up. Anyway I have taken the advice given - thanks.
To be fair it doesn't take much "looking up". I'm connected to 168 people on linkedin, which translates to a network of around 6,000 people. At some point you'll have connected to someone who is connected to someone, etc etc and your name will have popped up on his list of "people you may know" A couple of clicks later and the invite is sent.
You've done the right thing if you've simply ignored it. At least he's not claiming to have done the jobs you have, I've seen that twice now on linkedin

I’ll bet I’ve ended up in worse positions than you!
Or did you mean situations

Best just to leave it and laugh at him.
