Just adds more to the old saying, if you didn't ask for it don't open
it.
 
Or the statement from the Mentat in Dune "the first step in avoiding a
trap is recognizing it."

Good Evening.

This should probably have gone straight to admin, but I can't hang
around tonight to deal with this in the backchannel.
I read a story on Slashdot regarding Linked Spam, then checked my gmail
only to find a spoofed LinkedIn request from a member of the Oracle-L to
share photos.
I'd say to simply ignore all LinkedIn requests for a few days.
They'll still be queued up in your real profile after this one subsides.

hth.

Paul
