I have been receiving these - fortunately not too many - for
some time.

After the first few from people I had never heard of I added
LinkedIn to my spam filter. I just assumed it was just
another spammers network. I got quite a surprise to hear
about the huge sum of money it raised by means of a stock
market float. and that it is, supposedly, a legitimate
undertaking.

It is still in my spam filters though, and I should probably
add facebook too. Apart from one invitation from my next
door neighbour, which he assured me was genuine, anything
that comes here from either LinkedIn or facebook seems to be
a scam.
