Linkedin warned against the last fraud in which fraudsters use chatbots to obtain personal data. The user revealed that he has received an offer from a chatbot on behalf of Anasuya and claimed that he represents “Linkedin Technology Information PVT Ltd.”
The user shared screenshots chat and wrote: “Today he got a message WhatsApp from an unknown issue – Cimeone” Anasuya “from” Linkedin Technology Information Pvt Ltd. “
What was the scam of?
Anasuya claimed to offer a job opportunity £1000 to £5500 income.
Message from Anasuya was: “I understand that you are not interested right now, but this work is really simple and can earn 1000-5500 rupees. Just a few minutes of effort can bring you a nice income.
The user felt that the message was real, and asked the chatbot more questions. When he was asked to share a LinkedIn profile, the sender refused and said he could not share personal information.
“No, I’m not a shoe. I’m a human recruiter working for LinkedIn Pvt Ltd. I’m here to discuss with you a real job. Would you like to hear more about this simple, well -paid task?” Chatbot said.
“I felt fish, so I asked,” Are you a robot? “No, but obviously lied.
Netizens React
Several social media users responded to LinkedIn’s post, where most shared similar experiences.
“I have experienced it a lot! But seriously, which recruiter actually uses the WhatsApp hiring for hiring the real world?” One of the users commented.
Another added: “As soon as I was also frustrated by this type of message, they only copy some of the boiler messages according to your report.”
“He grabbed AI with a red hand,” one of the users said.
