Dear Linkedin Connections,
We all believe that Linkedin is quite professional and Genuine comparing to other social networks.
Well I came across with this new Linkedin Fraud Scam ( Completely Fraud Scam) with Proof
Let me take you to this, First of all,
1.All these so-called fake profiles will sign up using any HR Designation/other
2.They will create any fake company/Job page naming Jobs in USA, Jobs in Switzerland, Jobs in Germany etc.... ( Everyone loves to work abroad so everyone thinks its genuine and follows, this is where all the scammers taking advantage by posting fake requirements.)
3.Later they will come up with any fake job posting telling we are hiring USA, Germany, France etc... and They will mention If you are interested please comment interested, we will check your profile and click here ( any link) will be provided.
4. Well as a job seeker, Of course, we will comment interested seeking any positive hope and later will click on that given link in the post and It directly takes to your homepage.(Proved link is fake) In spite of checking back, we all will ignore because who cares..? isn't it.?
5. After everyone commenting Interested, as per Linkedin Strategy traffic the more active posts get popped up in everyone account feed, which makes free promotion and this increases fake company page followers.
6.And this doesn't end here buddy...! As their next step is to reach target number followers and sale that Fake page to any consultancy, Because Every consultancy needs to be active among crowd than traditional job portals like Naukri, etc... If any page has 1 million followers they can easily post requirements and get reference easily and close the requirement within the limited time.
7.The Consultancy shows up here and they will purchase the fake company page for any price ( 50,000-1,00,000 Just an Ex), Later they will take admin access and change the company name to their consultancy name and followers won't get notified.
8.BOOOOM.......! Scammers are making money and we are getting fooled..! isn't it Great..?
9.Well, I have a serious question for you guys to all those who commented as INTERESTED in many posts. Are you guys settled Abroad..? Got any reference from those pages..? If that's the case, then please consider my profile for reference too..! Lol
STILL NOT BELIEVING..? CHECK BELOW ARTICLE FOR PROOF..!
As you Can Find here, There is a profile named Alice Statzu and she mentioned as she is working as HR manager at Mindtree in Italy Location. whereas Mindtree is not operating in Italy at all. Kindly refer Mindtree official website here (https://www.mindtree.com/about/locations )
Then she will create all different fake company job pages and she will post from her profile mentioning, They are recruiting for so and so profiles, interested people can comment interested in the comment box and we will check their profile. As I explained in the previous article, the show goes on...!
In the above image, where you can find the likes and comments are getting high by Article/Post Traffic, Where they are indirectly forcing candidates to comment interested and follow their fake jobs pages.
As you can see here in this image they had clearly mentioned its paid internship in Berlin and Germany, Where the candidates have to comment "+" If they are interested and Scam people will review their profile. Wow Sounds Great..! Okay, let me comment interested and click that link for further info to apply.
Well, the given link nothing but its direct link to your home feed. I will just copy paste here the same link which they have updated in top image, kindly crosscheck ( https://lnkd.in/gMgj9Zq ) ( Open in Newtab )
Now It will take you to your Home feed, End of the day genuine must flow on LinkedIn rather than Scams. Its a request, If you find any Scam pages or profiles kindly report them.
Let's Make Linkedin Clean and Neat...!

11 个月I never thought I would be able to get my lost invested funds back after so many years of waiting. I had to seek the assistance of (IC3 RECOVERY on the internet ???? ) who helped me with a trace back of my asset into my bank account. Great work IC3Recovery- so glad you are out there fighting this scam. We need to let the entire public and victims know about the IC3RECOVERY on INSTAGRAM they deserve a noble price

5 年I just found another one. 2 very similar jobs where the original poster is the same person. They wrote offering me the job. The 1st one I wrote back to accept, then that's when it gets sketchy. This person said that they were going to send me a check for my first week of pay as well as some special software/equipment that I'd need to do the job. The pay is very high for the responisibilities as well. They're offering $400/week for only 5 -7 hours of work. I want to report this to LinkedIn immediately. We are all struggling to establish ourselves & be trustworthy freelancers, then this happens. I hope they eventually move on and leave us all alone. I'm not committing wire fraud or whatever it is they're trying to do.
