  • Spammers: One of your best friends from school grew up to be a legendary spammer and likes to message you several times a week with “amazing deals.”
  • Lawsuit: A former employee at your company is filing a lawsuit against your boss and using your LinkedIn profile to dig up information for the lawsuit. Lawyer exhibit A = screenshots of your LinkedIn profile. Verdict: Remove LinkedIn Connection ASAP.
