I've met some people through it before, but it was under a different situation than you have (I worked for a presidential campaign in the 2004 election that used Friendster to help bring together volunteers a bit). I actually haven't stopped by there in awhile, I should.
Anyway, I think it's hard to give an answer on whether you would come off as sketchy or not. That probably depends on the person you're sending a message to. If you're not sending the message through Friendster I would definitely mention that you saw them there so they know where you're coming from. And well, take it cool, don't come off too strong right away, just see if they wanna chat. If they don't, they don't.
