I received a connection request and it was suspicious due to many reasons. I googled the image and the name. Unfortunately, scammers are using a stolen picture of a real person and a real name too. The pictures stolen from the real Sergeant First Class Angela Pace, African scammers are even using her name. In this case her photo with a different name. The danger is one of my mutual connection is already connected to the fake profile. If I accept the request my network who trusts me could be in trouble.
How to identify a fake profile
- Why an army officer from the US Army wants to connect with me?
- Incomplete profile
- A limited number of connections
- No engagement
- Inmail for a suspected project (scam- Find it attached)
- No headline & no summary
- Lesser or no experience
- No interests or volunteer experience
- Nothing human in the profile
