Not that one specifically. But I receive phishing emails that initially
appear to be from LinkedIn from time to time. But they ain't.

Bernard, check the link(s) in the email to see if they are correct
URLs for LinkedIn. It could be a phish.

My Mozilla mail client warns me if a URL in an HTML email differs
from the textual version of the URL. This is a nice feature. But
fraught with false positives. Why? Because many websites now use
third party sites to handle email and click-through responses.
Sigh.
