Ask HN: I am getting submerged by low-effort Indian headhunters on LinkedIn?

I recently got back on the job market and started being active on LinkedIn. Until recently I received regular (1-2/week) high-quality recruiter messages on LinkedIn, which I think matches the experience of most tech workers. For the last few days, I have been submerged (5-6 messages/day) by extremely low-effort messages which share the following characteristics: - Fairly relevant to me but don't match my experience level at all (I'm junior/mid-level and they are all for senior level) - All from Indian (or Indian-sounding, might be pakistani/bengali?) people/companies but for local (European) roles - Very poorly written - The two I tried having a phone call were very hard to understand and utterly wasted my time (told me after 20 minutes of conversation that the role required 10 years experience, uhm you could have read my CV and saved us both the waste of time?) Any idea where this comes from? How do you react to this (I'm afraid to pass over good opportunities if I just ignore them)?
