Anything Goes : Anyone else getting scam network requests? by Craig D Griffiths

Anyone else getting scam network requests?

I am getting “agents” requesting a network connection. With the promise of “let me arrange a loan for you”.

The other thing is (may not be a scam) a lot of people with nothing in their bio.

I just decline both. Just interested of other people are getting these.

Christopher Phillips

Yes. I've received two from the same person.

Jeff Caldwell

I've gotten a few no bios.

Ally Shina

I've gotten some with no bios, and none offering loans.

Craig D Griffiths

Let’s hope they don’t get any victims, and this post and your comments are a good warning.

Stephen Floyd

Yeah, decline and report.

Dan Guardino

I get both and ignore both.

John Ellis

I get 'em regularly - deny and report.

Matthew H Emma

Continually, and I just decline them.

Debbie Croysdale

I only been getting them last couple of weeks. Very sinister. Why the heck would someone post a blank face and no bio?

Kelley Christene Watson

ignore. reported porn links

Doug Nelson

Debbie, maybe it's someone in a witness protection program who wants everyone to know?

Heidi Schussman

I don't ever connect with anyone without a bio that looks legit. I do occasionally get the flirty-weirdo PMs. I either ignore them or tell them this isn't a dating site! ;) And then I disconnect with them. Glad to know I'm not the only one.

Debbie Croysdale

@Doug LOL Yeah, "Witness Protection" could be a reason for posting a "Blank Head". Back to the original question from @Craig the last three months I did notice increase in requests from folk not connected to our industry or who had no interest in the arts whatsoever. (off course some artists have a job in another sector but still network through love of the subject.) The new wave everyone seems to be getting are just silhouettes with first names and no bio, or adverts ranging from Occult magic to finance. The internet is an open portal so we just have to rely on the "Mods".

David Downes

Yes. A slew of connection request from people with no bio.

Sir Sway

yup - weird flirty people and other mysterions targeting us
