Phony phishing email was not from LinkedIn





















I received a new type of fraudulent email shown above. It was meant to get me to click on two links (boxes highlighted by me in red) that did not really come from LinkedIn. Three things are wrong with it. The sender is not LinkedIn (perhaps KinkedIn?), it was sent to the email I use for this blog (not another I use for LinkedIn), and it has the singular You appeared in 4 search this week rather than in 4 searches this week. That spelling  and grammar error with singular instead of plural was the first thing I noticed. It stopped me from clicking. LinkedIn has a web help page about Phishing Emails.
