Anyone here on LinkedIn?

I am and have my business linked to my profile. I am not a paid subscription member though.

A girl associated with a past colleague asked to join my network, supposedly a CEO and owner of a large masonry company. I accepted her request, and she joined my network. Then a few messages later came a romantic flirt, professionally disguised. Did some research and recognized it as a scam. Decided to play along for a bit and man, these people are really good at what they do. They will win with anyone who has the slighted degree of naivety.

More about how that turned out later, I wonder how many guys she catches?
 
Reading things like that make me appreciate retirement even more. I treat the internet like the other drivers when I’m on a motorcycle: everyone is trying to kill me. Cover the clutch and brake.
