Now looking at the Click Here showed a URL that resolved to a non-LinkedIn URL. I also checked my LinkedIn account to make sure and I didn’t see an issue. There was no issue.

It was originally put in my spam folder but it looked legitimate. This is where I said before to suspect everything. Especially suspect it when it asks you to login through a link with your username and password. You should doubt every email, text, voice call. People want to separate you from your money.

You will never get me hackers because I don’t believe what I see.
