Anyone getting spammed for "business opportunities" again on LinkedIn

This was a very common thing when the first lockdown was announced. I used to get daily messages from people to join a part time hustle and that too from very senior level executives working for good brands. Looks like we are heading towards recession and this is a strong indicator My hunch is this kind of hustles are either

1. SCAMS
2. MLMS
3. BOTH And I seriously don't understand why people are willing to loose their credibility by participating in such hustles. Both of thses guys are at pretty senior managerial levels. What do you guys think about it?
