Most likely something like this.

Back in the earlier days of social media sites one of the more common nefarious tactics employed to build a user base quickly was prompting the new user to allow access to their contacts so they could be matched up with their friends.

Then the site would create accounts for all the contacts and send them an email telling them friend X added them.
