According to FBI special agent Sean Ragan, there has been an increase in investment-related fraud on LinkedIn. Fake accounts frequently pretend to be affiliated with actual and successful businesses or to represent individuals with an "entrepreneurial spirit" From January 2021 to March 2022, US cryptocurrency traders lost $575 million due to investment fraud, according to the Federal Trade Commission. Unlike Twitter and Instagram, LinkedIn does not presently provide profile verification for famous members. Oscar Rodriguez, LinkedIn's head of trust, privacy, and equity, stated that the number of fraudsters on the network is growing. "In recent months, we have seen an increase in fraudulent activity across the Internet, including here on LinkedIn," Rodriguez said in a blog post-Thursday.
