That didn't take long: Graham Clulely at Sophos is reporting that he has seen spammers sending out bogus invitations to Google+, the search giant's latest attempt to jemmy its way into social networking.
The problem is that if you click on the links you aren't taken to the Google's site (which you can reach – if it's open to you yet – at http://www.google.com/plus at any time), but to online pharmacies looking to sell you all manner of "enhancement" pills.
Of course, this does raise the question of quite how many people would actually find themselves tempted to "buy" some of the rubbish being peddled there when they had thought that they were coming to join the latest thing in social networking. (Note also that if you provide your credit card details to one of those sites, you're likely to (a) see that credit card being used to buy all sorts of things all around the world (b) never see any products or (c) if you do, they're likely not to do what you hoped they would do.)
If you need a reminder on this, there's always the Australian government's Scamwatch site.
