  there are many people every day they got trapped and lost their money...these scammers basically pretending as they owned the company and steal money and users personal data. in my opinion the linkdin should increase the security and verification especially for people who are hiring ...

  also i've seen people in comments on random posts saying ..DM me there is some job offers and u get these salary blah blah blah ... these are fake and they should be punished,.

  It appears that they're vacuuming up applicant data by posting jobs as if they're from a certain Page (brand) but in reality they're not affiliated with that brand at all.

  Who knows where this data is ending up
