icebreaker

This happens more than you think. 

The “benign” version is people lying about their work history to get a job. Frequently scammers,  criminal groups, and government affiliated IT workers or hackers

The more aggressive version is people posing as representatives of a company, usually hiring, investing, or BD, to steal money or compromise credentials/computers

The extreme version which we’ve seen among our design partners (since crypto is the most hostile trust environment), is getting a company’s social platform page taken down as a result of reports from fake users.

Then ransoming, phishing, and/or replacing the page with their own page to attempt to scam potential users/employees/investors as the company

We are building a Chrome plugin that will let you see the real vs fake users on LinkedIn
