🚨 Heads Up: Donation Scams Are Alive and Well on LinkedIn

I was contacted by a profile, Somalia Anna, asking about “donations” and “campaign promotion.”

Problem is — I don’t have a campaign.

After a bit of digging, I noticed the same message and comments copied and pasted across multiple profiles, combined with:

A minimal profile

Minimal history or engagement

Vague questions designed to steer toward money

That’s a textbook red flag.

Suppose you’re going to attempt a scam, at least put in some effort — better profiles, better targeting, and better research. This one was sloppy and obvious.

Sharing this so others stay alert. If something feels off, it probably

is.
