When HiveLLM Pitches an Anti-Fraud Professional

I received a suspicious email from “Sara Romano,” a “scout” with HiveLLM who wanted me to bid on a biometric content calendar with a budget of “75000” (no currency specified).

HiveLLM has no corporate address, no LinkedIn presence, a website only a couple of months old, and an advertised business model in which you can ask a question for 10 cents.

Oh, and “Sara Romano” also cold emailed Danie Wylie, who also found the pitch sketchy: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0nvmhyuLpn3jwMv8K8sbK5EXfS4kcpjfWHicgj4BJhdFLMme87P5fvPSYf9CwjRH7l&id=100001380243595&mibextid=wwXIfr

A clear case of the need for Know Your Business (KYB).

And as you can see, HiveLLM failed a rudimentary KYB check.

But let’s ask some questions anyway.

“Sara, to confirm that HiveLLM is not a fraudulent entity, please provide your corporate address, registration information, and the identities of your owner(s) and corporate officers.”

UPDATE. At midnight Pacific Time, “Sara” sent a long response. Buried toward the end: “I’m unable to provide corporate registration or ownership details.”
