🚨 Important Security Reminder for LinkedIn Users! 🚨 We want to share the below experience of Alexander H. with our network as well. Recently, at Uplift, we also encountered a concerning issue with scam accounts impersonating our company page and approaching people with tempting offers for high-paying, remote jobs. These accounts often appear credible—even using stolen profiles—but their goal is to deceive and get money from people. How to Protect Yourself Against LinkedIn Scams: 🔹 Be cautious of unexpected job offers or messages that seem too good to be true. 🔹 Avoid clicking on links that ask for your LinkedIn or email login details—especially if they come from an unfamiliar source. 🔹 Verify suspicious messages by contacting the person directly outside of LinkedIn. Even if it’s someone you know, a quick check can save you from potential fraud. We reported these fake accounts to LinkedIn and are working to have them removed immediately. Let’s all play a part in keeping our networks secure by reporting any suspicious activity. Stay safe and protect your professional space! Thanks to Rory O'Connor Anastasija Mitrovska Alexandra Coito Jerome Barbagelata Andrew Sup C. and SAFE team at LinkedIn for their continued support. #scam #staysafe
🚨 Security Alert for Recruiters 🚨 I’d like to share a warning, especially with fellow recruiters. Recently, I encountered a phishing attempt through LinkedIn from what appeared to be a legitimate recruiter offering a job opportunity. Unfortunately, this account had been hacked, and the message was a tactic to gain access to my credentials by having me click on a suspicious webinar link. Be on the lookout for: - Job offers or messages from recruiters that seem out of the blue. - Links prompting you to enter your LinkedIn or email login details. - Any messages that feel unusual, even if they’re from someone you know. If you receive something suspicious, confirm directly with the sender or report the activity. Stay safe!
