DO not click the job posting MakeWithMohit is not Notion. company page, "MakeWithMohit," is being exploited to host unauthorized, likely fraudulent job postings in India and South Korea. so hoe does it work !! Scammers exploit a vulnerability in LinkedIn's job posting architecture. When any user creates a basic job post, they are required to type in a company name. LinkedIn's system generates a dropdown list of existing company pages. If the scammer selects "MakeWithMohit" from that dropdown, their fraudulent job post is instantly associated with your company page, displaying your logo and brand name. Scammers often target small, unverified pages because they lack dedicated HR teams monitoring their page activity, allowing the scam to persist longer.
SCAM ALERT! Last night, a friend messaged me asking if she might be eligible for the role I was hiring for... except I wasn't hiring for anything, and I hadn't even heard of the company she was inquiring about. Turns out my LinkedIn account got hacked and posted two job listings - one for a data analyst position and the other for a customer success manager role - both based abroad. PSA: I did not create or post those job listings, nor am I affiliated with the (seemingly fake) companies advertising the roles! These may be phishing scams: so please change your LinkedIn passwords if you clicked on any of the links. The hackers even sent out (AI generated) personal messages with links to the jobs. If you received a message like this, IGNORE IT, it was not sent by me. It crushed me to open my LinkedIn in the morning and see over 40 applicants to these fake roles. I know how exhausting job searches can be, and scam job listings aren't doing us any favours. I am really sorry if anyone in my professional networks thought these were legitimate positions or decided to apply because of their trust in me - scams are the worst. I would never knowingly advertise or endorse something that defrauds people. I have obviously removed the roles and added more security measures to my LinkedIn to make sure this doesn't happen again. I'd advise that others do the same, in case this is an ongoing issue.
