Linkedin Scam Alert by Eberex(op): 5:06pm On Jan 09, 2025
"I recently connected with someone on LinkedIn who reached out with a business opportunity. He proposed using my account to promote his services and offered a monthly compensation, as well as a referral incentive. However, I'm hesitant as he requested my login credentials, which seems unusual."

Has anyone encountered such new scam?

I didn't.

If the person wants to advertise on your wall, let him send you the content and let you post it. Not asking for one's login details so as to be the one doing it.

Next they'd ask for your bank log in details.

Guess they thought you were mugu.
