A provider I saw a while back contacted me to connect with her on LinkedIn

Wow OMG! wrong in so many ways unless she is the CEO your company is trying to do business with!

She might not have done it on purpose. LinkedIn has a feature to add people via ones email address or multiple email address. I personally have never used that feature but many may not realize how it actually works and that's probably what happened.

I've been on LinkedIn for over 6 years via an LLC I once had LuckyEntertainment. I don't use it for anything but I can tell you, I get many requests daily for me to add them. If they look legit enough I'll add. But, if I see a naked pic of any sort on their profile I'll decline, male or female. I might log in once every other month to add the requests but its pretty useless to me unless I need it to help verify a potential guests but that's only happened maybe 3 times in all those years. I've found where gents have tried to book me via LinkedIn but since I don't use it on a regular basis I don't get their message til weeks later.

Happy HUMP Day!!

I've had clients try to add me on LinkedIn and it freaked me out because I thought there was a fake profile of me out there or something. Most of them were invitations for me to join LinkedIn but still totally weirded me out!

LinkedIn does this aggressive invites "feature" even if the linked in member doesn't know about it. Somehow
if you've shared emails with someone with a linked-in account. Linked-in looks at the email addresses the
linked-in member received then sends uninitiated "invites".

I think they are doing the same crap Facebook does
If log in  your e mail
They instal cookies in your computer
Steal your adress book
and send messages everywhere in your adress book
That why is Better keep your fun hobbie e mail ...separate then your personal e mail..

They make it look like you are logging in, but they are actually collecting permission to read your contact list.

Really this f@ck up lol

She didn't.

She had your email address in a contacts folder.   Linked In's trick is they raid your contacts and send out automatic invites to EVERYBODY in that folder.  

When you sign up for a Linked In account, buried deep in the terms and conditions is your permission for them to harvest addresses.

On my hobby email account, i think i have at least a dozen requests to join from various  providers.

emails from gents and also from other providers about connecting with them on LinkedIn.
I am not on LinkedIn I just delete those emails or make them as spam.
