Right now, since I have a LinkedIn Premium trial, my biggest grievance is the recruiters who start it off like we're bffs and have been in contact for ages.

This is a message from someone I never had contact with, who sent it via InMail:

checking in
Dear Kayla,

Hello, how are you today? Hope all is well. I wanted to reach out to you to see how things are going these days, and if you might consider looking or at least hearing about another opportunity.

I actually have a really good opportunity that you appear to be a great fit for, and I wanted to try and share it with you briefly.

Might you be able to contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss this in greater detail?

I would be more than happy to give you the name of the company, website, job description, salary, etc.……

I look forward to hearing from you. Enjoy your day!

Best regards,

This just has scammy spam written all over it with how terribly generic it is. There are a lot of words but no information.
