That's the good thing on not having an account... I don't even receive them... and if, they directly go to the trash bin (without crossing the drawing board and without receiving the 20 bucks)

From the story below, if they scrape the data from the LinkedIn screen, not illegal to display. The underlying fake links would be.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Researchers at Monash University and CSIRO's Data61 in Australia have recently developed a machine learning-based approach that could help users to identify phishing emails, so that they don't inadvertently install malware or send sensitive data to cyber-criminals. Click here to install it now!

Today I learned (TIL) there’s an 83-page FBI “guide” to internet slang filled with abbreviations entered either by a complete troll or someone totally clueless WTE, FYI FWIW
Sadly, WTE hasn't actually made it as far as the FBI. Yet.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals may have set an important precedent in the tech world. The court has essentially concluded that “Data Scraping” is not hacking. Breaking news: Sanity prevails.

Otherwise, couldn't just looking at a web page be considered data scraping? My eyes took information off the screen and into my brain. If you display it in public, I'm thinking it's fair game.
Unless of course, you copyright every single web page.

- I think that the issue is one of quantity. There is no way that your Mk. 1 brain + eyeballs can reliably "scrape" a significant amount of data from a site like LinkedIn. At least, not enough for you to open a competing service.
- If you look at the tiny print at the bottom of many Internet pages, you will find a copyright.

#1 would preclude the use of technology to add value to any legal activity.
#2 would be a way to prevent it, but the question is whether the contents can be protected by copyright, which usually covers an original work. I doubt that a LinkedIn profile, for example, qualifies.
Probably the easiest way to do this is to only display the data to logged in accounts. And when opening an account, to have the user agreement include a prohibition on scraping.

As I understand it, part of the problem is that LinkedIn wanted to have their cake and eat it - both be indexable by Google, and disallow "scraping". Google will not index data behind paywalls, password protection, etc.

Disagree. Scraping not being a crime was the right call, but keeping the injunction saying MS isn't allowed to attempt to block it insane.
The ruling by the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit drew a distinction between data that is password-protected and data that is publicly available. That means hiQ Labs—a data analytics company that uses automated technology to scrape information from public LinkedIn profiles—can continue accessing LinkedIn data, a three-judge panel at the appeals court ruled:
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Yes, IMHO I think it's a gray way (not black, but not white too), and sources can allow/deny scraping...
