I almost fell for a similar trap when I installed their app and it was about to pull ALL the contacts from my phone. By default. I killed the app instantly and uninstalled it, never to touch it ever again. I cannot trust the app not to send unrequested connection requests, really. I've kept the same mobile number since I was 12-13 (and I'll be 29 in some months). I have no idea about the number of people that got my phone number over the course of the years but surely I do not want to connect on LinkedIn with all of them.
