Help Please help me Re: Google Talk

I just got a notification from Google Talk that someone want to chat. The email was sexysquirter followed by a bunch of numbers. Pornbot?? I accidently hit the back button before I could hit block. I dont use google talk and I dont even know what it is and I cant find that invite anymore. Im concerned that if I dont block it that I am going to get more of those.

I'm wondering:
1 - how I can find that invite again so I can block it?
2 - How can I uninstall Google Talk?
3 - How would they have found me to send a chat invite on program I don't even use?
4 - Is google talk a program than can be taken advantage of by spammers?
 
Google talk is the equivalent of. MSN messenger or yahoo messenger.

I could go through your list and answer each point, but suffice to say, sign out of it, and goto settings > applications > all - go down the list until you find "talk" tap force stop, then disable.

Google talk will no longer load, and possibly not even appear in your app drawer anymore (possibly!?)

Google are trying to phase out gtalk and get everyone onto their Google + messenger, called "messenger +" So I wouldn't worry about having gtalk disabled too much.
