I get this all the time on the "suggested connections" page - names and email addresses extracted from my Gmail contacts, but the name is not a link to a profile (on normal suggested connections you can click on the name to see their profiles). I could easily spot those and not request to connect but it can be confusing for non-technical people.
What changed recently is that these fake profiles are also listed as having "shared connections" with me which is hard to believe considering those are not Linkedin profiles at all.
- gizzlon 13y agoSome people you connected with also had them in their address book?
- adrianb 13y agoIndeed, probably it's the number of times linkedin sent them some email titled "join linkedin now".
- junto 13y agoI actually thought I had found a way to delete these contacts. You can go to Network -> Add Connections -> Manage Imported Connections. Then you can delete those contacts (10 at a time - WTF). Sadly, those deleted contacts are still showing up in my "People You May Know" page. Hence, I think it is safe to assume that LinkedIn are doing a "Facebook delete".
