What's this all about?
Some sort of scam?

It depends. I'm using it find new contacts down in Mexico to help me find more places to sell equipment.
It also works well to develop a network to find work, especially for contract work. HR people use it find work. And of course, you can use it to find a job.
So, depending on the business/work you do, having a network of professional people can be good. The "Group" feature allows you to join groups, and then you can connect to people in that group. Groups usually have a common theme, certain type of professional, ex-employee from somewhere, college, etc.
If you connect with people, or want to advertise yourself, it can be a good site. I have developed a couple of clients, including one unexpected from Brazil, using for only about a month.
