Fake Job Posts on LinkedIn. #

Always be alert, suspicious and verify before even clicking. #

There’s been several posts in the media, articles and blogs by people describing how LinkedIn is being used to recruit, deceive, or scam job seekers.

I am receiving emails with job offers with “High experience match”, “High skills match”, or “Be first to apply” LinkedIn [pretend] labels.

I checked “Fudan University” in Hafnarfjörður (On-site) under the Icelandic Yellow Pages, nothing found: “Engar niðurstöður fundust fyrir „fudan university“ Ástæðan gæti verið að leitarorðið er rangt skrifað eða ekki á skrá.” Google Translate: “No results found for “fudan university” The reason could be that the keyword is misspelled or not in the file.” https://ja.is/?q=fudan%20university

Alright, maybe not in file. So I checked Revenue Iceland. If it’s on-site and it is a university it surely has to be registered; well, no surprise there, nothing found. “Leit eftir „Fudan University“ skilaði engri niðurstöðu” Google Translate: A search for “Fudan University” returned no results https://www.skatturinn.is/fyrirtaekjaskra/leit?nafn=Fudan+University&heimili=&kt=&vsknr=

I repeated the exercise for MindPal Kópavogur (On-site). Similar results, nothing under ja.is or the tax office. https://www.skatturinn.is/fyrirtaekjaskra/leit?nafn=MindPal&heimili=&kt=&vsknr= https://ja.is/?q=mindpal
