It's not a shadow profile, they're scraping your LinkedIn. I've gotten multiple emails to my work email from (non-Facebook) recruiters/sales people within the first week of adding my current employment to LinkedIn. They guess it's "first.last@companydomain", and most of the time that's right.
It happened that one of the times they put an unsubscribe link at the bottom, but if they didn't I just sent them to junk. (The way to market new infrastructure tooling is not to cold-email people that've worked here for a month.)
- vorpalhex 4y agoThey also buy your old linkedIn data from brokers.. which is unfortunate. I usually send a precanned speel if they keep following up - "If it would be rude on a dating app, it's rude in professional email. Take the no and stop contacting me."

I don't understand how folks can think this is the right time to try to sell. A couple weeks into a job at a new company, I doubt I even know what we use now that you're trying to sell me a replacement for. One concise cold email introducing yourself, I'll probably save it for later if it looks compelling. But multiple "needy" follow-up replies can leave a really poor first impression.
- buildbot 4y agoI deleted my linkedin some time ago, and it never had these contact details.
