Italian term or phrase: guarda quante ragazze puoi trovare
"Il tuo amico XXX ti consiglia YYY, guarda quante ragazze puoi trovare…)".

Online dating agency (YYY in the above sentence). Importing contacts and sending automatic messages to invite them to sign up. Any ideas for a natural sounding English term?

Explanation:
Or "Just take a look to see how many girls there are". If the "viewer" has to click on something to actually look and see.
Are you sure this is legal and Internet etiquette compliant Paul?
Anybody "Importing contacts" from my computer without my consent, would be somebody I would like to put in jail especially if they then started "sending automatic messages".

Obviously the key words are "without my consent". There are a lot lot lot more questions that could be asked here.
If you are sure your client is bona fide. That's Ok.

There are a lot of people who don't ask your consent and hide what they are doing. They don't give any invitations and facebook is not one of them (we hope/trust). They are generally known as hackers and computer criminals. We buy antivirus software to protect us from them. Porn sites are notorious for using these types of techniques, often know as spyware. They spy on your address book.
Are you sure you are not working for people like this? By your questions and replies, it would seem you hadn't really asked yourself the question, me old son.

Notes to answerer
Asker: yeah, for example, a former student of mine imported his email contacts into facebook and i received an "add as friend" request automatically.

Asker: no, they don't import you as a contact from YOUR computer, but from theirs. from their email address book.

Asker: you show your lack of consent by declining the invitation.

Asker: I'm flattered by your concern. However, I'm covered, so don't worry.
