Do any of these “people” actually exist, or are they just phony Linked In profiles using stolen photos? Most of these questionable Linked In profiles appear connected in some way with apparently fake companies such as those seen in B2B spam selling email lists from the India-based Data Champions \/ Sloan Marketing scam<\/a> and spam group.<\/p>\n

We’ve seen many of these fake companies well represented in spam, often using different mailbox addresses and phone numbers, depending on which spam you receive (and from many fake employee names).<\/p>\n

Perhaps a few of your colleagues have accepted Linked In invitations to “connect” from these fake people, just to boost the number of “connections” they have!<\/p>\n
