The recruiter's email that almost fooled me

Late Sunday night. A LinkedIn message about a Learning & Development role.

Professional tone. Personalized details. A real-looking profile attached.

I responded.

Then something felt off — and the more I looked, the worse it got.

What I found raises serious questions about how job seekers are being targeted: resume harvesting, personal data mining, and scam infrastructure that's hard to spot even when you're paying attention.

I documented the whole thing — the red flags I missed, the ones I caught, and what it means if you're actively job searching right now.

(And Scott Leonardis — genuinely, thank you for being courteous throughout. That's what made this so disarming.)
