Interesting. I did add something similar to what's describe in this post, but I added it at the bottom of my profile in the "advice for contacting Dudul" section. I did not see any real difference in spam.
I'm hesitant to using the "Summary" for that, but I'll try moving the "Advice for contacting" to the top, see if it helps.
I had the same thing before adding this to my summary. No one ever saw it. I think this is because recruiters only do keyword-search on profiles (if that). No one reads your entire profile.
I changed my first name on LinkedIn to my full name and my last name to "." so that while my name still reads correctly to humans, bulk messages start with Hello <full name> and I can bin them accordingly.
