phishing and scams

LinkedIn is no exception, when it comes to scamming or phishing on social media networking sites. The pattern with which scammers work is sometimes predictable while other times a surprise.

You need to stay vigilant while opening any untrustworthy link with an enticing message or offer to get you to click so that your account could be infected with malware.

If you ever receive such a private message or any message that seems suspicious, make sure to report it to LinkedIn immediately and block the contact.
