My first real LinkedIn spam

Just got my first piece of classic spam through LinkedIn this morning.
Not a random job offer or a networking request from someone I’ve never met – this is the real deal.
The link goes to a pitch for books and seminars on “Infinite Banking” (whatever that is).
It looks like this is a fake profile that is then added to a couple of groups, and the direct contact facility affoded by group membership used to send the spam.
Anyone else started seeing this?
