Targeted recruitment on LinkedIn is as off as my Pinterest ads for baby diapers.

Soooo tin foil hat time:

Do you know those scam emails with all the typos and such?

This is the LinkedIn equivalent. As soon as you respond, it means your account is active and valid.

I loathe LinkedIn and yet I can't drop it. I am not at risk of unemployment but I do know the unemployment office will pretty "strongly recommend" you to create a profile if you don't have one at said time.

And starting with an empty profile these days is like being part of a clownshow in a miniature car. No one remembers clown # 38218 stepping out nor cares. Plus you'll be shoved into someone else's armpit and forced to smile because showbusiness!
