They were fake, they were directed towards some other web site. I didn't keep the email so I can't remember where, but they weren't goingto Linkedin. I didn't click on them, I just hovered the mouse over the link to see where it went, so I don't know what would happen if you clicked on one of them. But the email looked legitimate, someone less paranoid than myself could easily have clicked on it. I happen to have an account on Linkedin, but I didn't recognize the name in the email so I was a little suspicious.
