You misunderstand, possibly;
Somebody, somewhere (doesn't matter who, or how they got the address),
has your email addy stored at (say) GMail. That person decides to use
the FB option to mail all their friends invites. You get one. FB don't
send you a message then store the info and keep sending you stuff. Also,
some FB invites aren't via FB at all but really are phishing attempts
from bogus sites.

Have you actually contacted FB and asked them to add your email address
to a (for want of a better word) blacklist of un-interested people? TBH,
I don't even know whether they operate such a scheme.
