"Hey,

I am a student from Morocco 22 years old.

I just want to inform you that I got scammed by a group that claims they are from LinkedIn Team Bond and I have won a sum of 500.000 $ in an Annually LinkedIn online international Rifle Draw.

I was cheerful and very happy at first and followed all their instructions, they left me no room for doubt at all until they asked me to send them a sum of money of 595$ as a register in a new bank. Here they raised my doubt and I went to look at Google for an example of this Annually Rifle Draw of LinkedIn, then I found your alert about it and it's just a scam. Frankly, I was shocked Because I sent them all the details about my bank card and even sent a scanned copy of it but not a password and I hope I will not be exposed to any monument.

I will send you the documents they sent to me.

I beg you to publish it so everyone knows that this is just a scam.

And one last thing, please hide my name and all my privacy while sharing this.

Thank You"

Thanks very much for this information

It happened to me, then I tried to search about it, sadly here we are...

I almost sent the last, than I did a search on the ticket number, thank you very much, forsharing the information.

I have recieved the same messages too and I was actually almost filling in and senting the last attachment, but I took a step back and searched Erick Brassily and boom, I see this article, thanks so much for this, I would have fallen prey!

I was surprise to earn a lot of money without any effort, so I mailed the LinkedIn CEO in order to be confident and I googled the Eric Brassily fortunately I fall on this page. thank you guys for your sharing

same goes here, you cant get rid of them, those scammers.

Suddenly I received a message on LinkedIn from a profile named Linked-In Customer where the message was instructed me to send an email to the following email as someone want to share something with me.

Being curious I send an email & got excited after reading his feedback. But I was also concerned about the transparency of that information, therefore, I searched on Google about it and luckily got the article of their scam. Thank you so much.
