The odd sites that seem to be linking to you might actually not be. Visit the site and check the code. My bet is that you will not find your URL. This happens when the sites "cloak" their content. This allows search engines to see content different from when humans see. It can certainly affect the rankings of your site. But there is not too much you can do about it. If the problem does not scale up tremendously, just ignore it.
