I've been reading quite a few more of these lately.

It appears that LinkedIn has a problem not only with the tsunami of everyday recruiter spam flooding out their primary value proposition (real biz connections), but now criminal scams exploiting their platform.

Seems like one of those tipping point phenomena, that doesn't seem critical, until it is, and by then, it's too late and mostly all of the customers have decided they're done with it.

[This is Julia, the IC] In this case, LinkedIn had nothing to do with the scam. The thieves were using my real name and they didn’t create a fake profile for the supposed recruiter, so there’s unfortunately no phony profile to report.
