Does anyone get these LinkedIn messages often?

I get similar iterations of these messages at least 1-2 times a week from alum from my school. They have reputable jobs (obviously could be faked).. but these always look like some scam. One time I allowed a phone call but ended up to be some mlm.

"Hi____,

How are you? I hope you and your family are safe and healthy during this time. I really enjoyed reading your about me section and am impressed with your background. I am reaching out to you because I am currently seeking an aspiring entrepreneur for a business opportunity. While you are attending school, would you be open to learn how to use your skills to develop your own business asset with guidance and mentorship from a team of successful business owners and diversify your income in your spare time?"

Just don't accept Linkedin requests from folks who have Forex or smell like MLM anywhere on their profile and you will protect yourself from 99% of such people.

“Destiny is a gift. Some go their entire lives, living existences of quiet desperation, never learning the truth that what feels as though a burden pushing down upon their shoulders is really a sense of purpose that lifts us to greater heights. Never forget that fear is but the precursor to valor, that to strive and triumph in the face of fear is what it means to be a hero. Don’t think. Become.”
