Even before the current LinkedIn purge, shouldn't duplicate profile images be a red flag? I got three invites from three different accounts with the same profile photo in the space of a week over the summer.
This is also an ongoing issue for Facebook, except the fake accounts use the same profile photo and name as real people. It's a vector for fraud and causes untold headaches for millions. It's been going on for years.
