How It Works
As you can see in the previous paragraph, their contact details are incomplete. The viewers, to see the full mobile number and email address, are prompted to click on a link. But clicking this link is where the problem of the viewer begins, because when the viewer does, the link leads to a phony LinkedIn site where the viewer is further prompted to log in with their details so as to verify and confirm their identity. After which, the LinkedIn log in details of the viewer would be sent to the fraudsters which they could use for fraudulent activities in your name.
What to Do When You Receive Such Emails
You are advised to delete and ignore such emails. Do not respond to them and do not share your personal information with them. If you’ve already clicked on their links and you still have access to your LinkedIn account, you are advised to change your password and adopt the two-authentication protection for your account.
