For some reason I’m getting lots of requests to be part of the Linkedin Professional Network. Please don’t think I’m rude, but at this time in my life I don’t want to join a professional network. I do appreciate everyone who has sent me an email request; but I graciously decline.
I also have heard from other friends that I have sent out requests for you to join me in Linkedin —please know that I do not have an account with this professional social network. I’m sorry if you have gotten those messages they were NOT from me.
Your friend,

I know what you mean. I am forever getting requests to join it even though I have been retired for a number of years. I also do not want to join it.
My thinking is that if someone wants to know how and what I am doing a personal email is always much appreciated.

I wondered about that! Got your ‘invite’ at both my email addresses.

Linkedin is wearing me out. That would be the LAST organization I’d want to join if I was so inclined just BECAUSE they keep sending annoying emails. And yes, you can decline to receive any emails…but that doesn’t actually work. GRRRRR!

Thought it was a little odd, but linked to you as requested. I’ll delete the link (if it lets me!), safe in the knowledge that it wasn’t you….

Yup, I’ve been getting them from you and Cheryl, too. I think it’s time to put them on my spam list.

i have a profile with them from years back when i was leaving work, but i’ve not been using it at all. i hate that they can send out ‘not legit’ requests, too.

I get those things all of the time also —and someone even said that they got one from me. I have never been part of that group–but cannot get off of their mailing list… Don’t know what else to do….
We’ve had an incredible week with family and friends in Texas… SO much fun!!!! Getting home TODAY…

Yes, I have gotten a couple of requests from you to join in the past few weeks. I think Linkedin is a spam machine. Once they hook up two names, they will keep sending the same request to you over and over again. I have yet to find a friend who has actually sent me the request. Linkedin does it on their own. I don’t respond to any of them.

Yes, I got an invite, too, but I denied it! I have received a number of them from different people, but I’m like you, no thanks!! Seems to be an automatic thing from LinkedIn…they go to the trash as my house!
Blessings!

It certainly is annoying. So are the endless requests for “endorsements” from them.

I saw your name on a request from them, but I KNEW it wasn’t you … I’ve had that request from other people before and e-mailed them (saying what you just said here … not interested right now etc .. ) and then got back an email from them saying they didn’t send it.
I really think the whole Linkd In thing is just a scam to get people’s email addresses. I delete everything from them.

Like you, I’m not on Linkedin, so when I got a request from you I assumed it was not a “real” request and ignored it. I was right! Cheers!
