The Most Brilliant/Evil LinkedIn Message Ever

Okay boys and girls, it’s time for a personal story.

This landed in our inbox today:


Hey, it’s been years since I spoke to…..hey wait a minute, who is that?

A search of all my email accounts associated with my LinkedIn account turned up nobody by this name. The picture doesn’t look familiar, I don’t think I recognize any of the company names, and I didn’t go to school with her.

Conclusion: This message is just generic enough to trick people into clicking “accept.”
