Hell, I've gotten what were at first glance Linkedin requests, from
myself! I don't even have a Linkedin account. So I assumed it was some
sort of phishing expedition.

Not surprising. I haven't let LinkedIn know about the existence of my
Facebook account or any webmail account. And I use an email client
that doesn't let LinkedIn (or anything else) scavenge its address
book.
My own interesting experience with LinkedIn came from receiving emails
(sent to the address I registered fir my LinkedIn account) requesting
that I connect with someone... but when I logged into LinkedIn I found
no such request there. Seems like obvious spam with a forged address,
right? Nope. I checked the email headers for the suspect messages and
found the emails came from the official LinkedIn servers. I never got
a satisfactory answer (or indeed, any reply at all) from LinkedIn and
found several other users experiencing the same issue with equal
puzzlement. After about a year it stopped so I think it was a glitch
in their system.
