LinkedIn Job opportunity Hacking!

Interestingly some one reads my LinkedIn Profile and sends me a message with an opportunity to think about a revenue generating secondary job. Unfortunately when we sincerely feel and have a decent/ formal conversation with the opponent, suddenly their messages related to the requirement seems contradictory or unmatched to their position/role/firm. Now comes a catch! When you open the job description link sent by the opponent inside the Google Form to understand, it extracts all its hidden data and stores on your laptop or Desktop, because they suggest us to do so for a better experience. Here, I've seen couple of these occurrences via LinkedIn Platform. Now, when I suspect the latest occurrences, with my diplomatic responses, I see an immediate deletion of their messages and profile photos and data. It means that either the opponent person has a dummy profile or else may be hacked by someone else. Lets ensure our individual profiles doesn't go in to their hands. I've shared you a glimpse in the attachment to make sure you are attentive with your personal social media accounts. Take care and thank you! 👍
