This site could be linked to fraud.
The warning is not just coming from government officials. LinkedIn confirmed in a statement that it has seen a recent rise in fraud on its website, CNBC reported. The company said it took down more than 32 million fake accounts from its platform last year, which included 11.9 million that were stopped by its automated safeguards at registration, 4.4 million that were restricted proactively, and 127,000 fake profiles that were reported by members.
LinkedIn also reported that its automated defenses caught a total of 70.8 million spam and scam messages in that same timeframe, with another 179,000 being removed after members reported them. In terms of how much money has actually been stolen from members, the company told CNBC that it won't provide estimates on that.
