How to Identify Suspicious LinkedIn Invitations

There are several red flags to look out for when receiving LinkedIn invitations:

  • Check the senders profile: If the sender has a generic name or incomplete profile, it could be a sign of a scam.
  • Look for spelling and grammar mistakes: Scammers often make errors in their messages that give them away.
  • Avoid clicking on suspicious links: If the invitation includes links that seem out of place or not related to the senders profile, dont click on them.
