For a few weeks now I have some random contact showing up when typing an e-mail address in Gmail on the iPhone. I have no idea how it got there, I've never e-mailed this person and searching through gmail on my computer has no results for the name or e-mail address. I'm not quite sure how the whole contact thing works with gmail as none of the contacts on gmail show up on the iphone except for a couple. Anyway, just wondering if there is anyway to get rid of this random name/e-mail address that keeps coming up? I would at least like to know how it got there! The only thing I can think of is that it came from a spam email that was opened and since deleted. I've tried removing the account and adding it again. Before anyone says to delete it from the contact list in the phone, it's not there! If this makes no sense here is a little more of an explanation:

-Open up mail, go to create new message.
-When I start to type an e-mail address starting with a or s this random name comes up.
-Only a handful of other peoples e-mail addresses actually come up this way and I have yet found out how certain names get added or not.
