Never accept invitations from anyone you don't know on LinkedIn. Especially recruiters. It is the bottom of the barrel recruiters that aren't paying a recruiter membership at LinkedIn and want to build a network so they can search free. A decent recruiter doesn't have to be connected to you to solicit you for an opening.

There are also salespeople that want to connect and all sorts of riff raff. I made the mistake and accept some people I didn't personally know in the beginning. Had to un-friend them because they spammed the carp out of me and the feed.
