#honeypot1129

(The original honeypot can be found in a post on my LinkedIn profile.)

As previously promised…

I’ve spent over 10 years in identity and biometrics, and other factors, including one-to-many identification, one-to-one verification, and classification (e.g. how old you are).

But as I have noted in a recent article in the Bredemarket newsletter The Wildebeest Speaks, verifying someone’s identity only goes so far.

(For people reading this on LinkedIn: here comes #honeypot1129, for those paying attention.)

For example, how many LinkedIn users sporting a green banner and an #opentowork hashtag have been approached by a person claiming to be from Company X…who is NOT from Company X?

That, my friends, is #employmentfraud – something that the REAL employees at all the Company X’s out there take very seriously.

Of course, no #fraudster who is doing something like that would be foolish enough to send me a LinkedIn InMail with such a claim…would they?

Or comment on this post and make such a claim?

You’d be surprised…
