They look reasonably line LinkedIn messages, though I don't recall ever getting something quite like this from LinkedIn. The subject has been "LinkedIn new messages" but the senders aren't LinkedIn addresses. They've been: Lewis Shannon LinkedIn [cameoingo37@ggtco.com]. Young Burton LinkedIn [crossways@anfscd.com].

Lots of spam is coming from fake LinkedIn accounts these days. But some are downright lame, like this: Sender: LinkedIn Notification [undisturbed487@uncw.edu]. Subject: LinkedIn Invitation from your official. LinkedIn respect your privacy. Š 2010, LinkedIn Corporation. Enter your InBox by clicking here.

The recent theft of passwords from LinkedIn prompted me to post these spams masquerading as messages from that firm. The first one made no attempt beyond the Sender name to look like it came from LinkedIn. The others made a minimal attempt to look like a LinkedIn message and all look like they came from the same source.

These are similar to the Linkedin scam I wrote about a year ago. At a casual glance they look like real LinkedIn invitations, but a moment of scrutiny shows they aren't real. Genuine LinkedIn invitations include a photo, the sender's company, a link to view their profile, and the number of shared connections. including 2 typos).

I've started receiving phishing messages that look like LinkedIn connection requests. The big clue is that if you hold your cursor over the "Confirm that you know Neal" button you'll see that it doesn't point to a LinkedIn address. It was only a matter of time. So far the text has been identical.

I'm a member of several LinkedIn discussion groups, but my participation is lukewarm at best. One of the biggest problems is spam--the noise is drowning out the signal. There doesn't seem to be a way for moderators to review messages before they're posted or for participants to flag spam for review by moderators.

This one purports to come from LinkedIn. But the sender name shows clearly that it didn't come from LinkedIn and there's no way the text could be seen as a legitimate LinkedIn message. Sender: LinkedIn (emailconfirm+robert@hastingshighlands.ca). Thank you for using LinkedIn! --The The LinkedIn Team.
