I don't understand. Why would someone create lots of fake profiles?

  The most obvious reasons might be spam or stealing contact information from the site. Those profiles could also be used for mass-liking of posts, to trick the algorithms for the feed.

  well we have been seeing fake people going for jobs posts here, so if you create profiles A,B,C C gets enticing job offer from recruiter You hire actual user D you based your profile on to take tests etc. You get job offer but we need recommendations Please talk to my friends A and B!

  Recruiting firms often create fake developer profiles to attract other recruiters messages. Then, they'll recruit for that ideal profile and present the candidate blindly to the companies HR or hiring managers, hoping to secure a relationship/placement fee.
