Yup, seen these around... I believe one of them is being baited en masse right now (check "Why does a scammer want my hotmail password" in the scambaiting help forum)

I just got an interesting e-mail. Somebody was asking me to join some site called “Tubely”. It looks like some dating site. I clicked on the link to "add her to my friends" on the site and it took me to some page which had my e-mail address already included in the field.

What was really interesting was the fact that the page was also asking for my e-mail account password

You can skip that part and go on to the site and register…..

I think that some sites do that to dig in your contacts and SPAM them with requests to join their site. I think Facebook asked me for my password as well, but I don't remember.

I wouldn't do it just to not be annoying, but if it is a fake site...
