LinkedIn Needs to Fight Fraud Better

Today's #BotOrNot !

whoa! good find! "Andruii Pidgornyy"! He's in to double letters! So, right Gary Longsine you see a lot of this —500 connections on LinkedIn suggesting an account that remains persistent without being flagged. This often indicates "hijack" or abandoned account takeover and it's a trick to get a sense of depth— Members cannot differentiate without instruction and study! In fact, these accounts seem associated ONLY by the fact they have the same stolen-photo which are cheap to buy. I don't understand why they don't just generate one or ensure it's not already abused like this! Seems someone would have to have instinct and knowledge enough to do your reverse google search before seeing they have visibly inconsistent profiles and thus, the account is likely fraudulent using account takeovers. Debbie Reynolds? thoughts on that? Sigh, of course I realize on LInkedIn a profile must be flagged about a zillion times before anyone reviews it even for a split second! This account will very likely stay up but let's count the days...

Yup!!’ The moment I put up my banner, I started getting sketchy messages! ZipRecruiter is just as bad!
