New Delhi: In February, an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer B. Chandrakala found a LinkedIn fake account running in her name. Not just fake accounts, there have been several cases of fraudsters impersonating staffing agencies on the LinkedIn platform and people keeping duplicate and fake profiles. "LinkedIn is pretty good at stamping out fake profiles once they are identified. LinkedIn gives users option to flag inappropriate or fake profiles on its platform - profiles that contain profanity, empty profiles with fake names, or profiles that are impersonating public figures. It, however, appears that LinkedIn relies more on users than its AI and ML solutions to keep its platform sanitised.
