Even though I have Yahoo messanger set to invisible status sometimes strangers are able 2 contact me -why/how?

every so often recently , people have attempted to connect with my profile even though it's set to invisible. It seems like it's been reset and some strangers have tried to chat with me, suggestively. How were they able to see my profile? I blocked them after a couple of practically identical exchanges.
