I would agree that this sounds like a fake profile. They probably sent it to you from being a member of the same group, which is a becoming a more and more popular mechanism for spam. Yes, these sorts of mails do not deter me from being an open networker either, but I am more tempted to report them to LinkedIn (abuse@linkedin.com) if I start receiving repeated ones. Thanks for the information and do keep us posted on your LinkedIn LION journey. Hi Marvin and thank you for your comment. I would agree that this sounds like a fake profile.

I think it is a fake profile. The profile is incomplete and there is no photo. I did a google search and any profile this person is listed under doesn't have a profile either. There is no other info for that matter. However, I will not let this deter me from being an Open Networker and adding value to my contact list by keeping my contacts open. I won't reach out to this person, because there is no relationship. We're not even connected. I will do everything I can to "protect" my contacts, but I won't throw the baby out with the water either. What do you think about this email: "Subject: Marvin I am begging your for your help Marvin I am begging you for your help with my resume I am young woman in New York seeking help any form, Please I have been lookinfg for a job for some time and have found nothing . I am on the verge of loosing everything i have worked for please help me can you take a look at my resume" I received this in my email inbox today. I think it is a fake profile.

LinkedIn will soon become the most effective way of building your professional career and creating a personal brand. However, one will have to invest time in learning the effectiveness of this site and ways to use it properly. Nicely written!
