SCARY email breach of privacy

Hey, I recently received an email which said "Thanks for adding photos to Google Maps" and then in the body of the email they included three photos I took last weekend... which I did NOT add to google maps! I checked in "My Contributions" under photos and they don't appear there, but now I don't know what to trust -- was the email right and the web interface wrong? is Google taking my private photos and posting them publicly on Google Maps without my consent?

This happened to me, too!  What can I do about it?   How did it happen?  Anyone at Google?
