Something else to be aware of is compromised LinkedIn profiles. I was recently contacted by a very real looking profile on LinkedIn, who was supposedly recruiting for a very real position at a very real company that the profile actually worked for. Red flags were:
- Bad english/spelling in messages
- Compensation a little too good to be true
- Sounded too easy to ‘get’ the job
- Person’s job title had nothing to do with recruitment until very recently
- ‘Application form’ they sent me looked a little bogus
They wanted me to fill out a form with all my info., including SSN, and send photocopies of my ID. When I asked for an email address at the company in question to send everything to, they ghosted me.
Yikes, that one almost got me. Advice here is to always manually ‘two factor’ identify people who contact you out of the blue.
Safe hunting folks.
Download the gerneric linux version. Then un-compress it and copy the contents into your system discord directory. Maybe make a back-up copy first, just in case.
