I get an email to invite me to connect to someone every time (only three times so far) I merely visit their LinkedIn profile. I thought at first they had some premium feature but on second thoughts it was probably something like this. I never have myself logged in to LinkedIn at the same time.

Backstory: An acquaintance of mine requested a connection soon after I met them for the first time. I was a little wary so didn't accept before speaking to them.

I found out later that it was a fake profile copied from his real one and they were a victim of identity theft.
