LinkedIn has a bot problem

Microsoft’s social network for professionals, LinkedIn, is an important platform for job recruiters and seekers alike. It’s also a place where criminals go to find new potential victims.
Like other social media platforms, LinkedIn is no stranger to bots attracted to special keywords and hashtags. Think “I was laid off”, “I’m #opentowork” and similar phrases that can wake up a swarm of bots hungry to scam someone new.
@NorthernInvader I am on LinkedIn quite a bit for business and keep getting hit by bots. Know enough to avoid most of them.
Plus I noticed quite a few job posters only seem to be posting to get immigration for friends and family. Using the post for the Labour Market Impact Assessment, which helps them sponsor their people into Canada. Did report a couple of companies to Canadian Immigration.
@ProudCanadianAthiest Good, keep at it. I closed my account the day I retired :)
