You just never know what you may win 
I checked an email account that I had retired a while back, just to see if any old friends were looking to get back in touch.
There was an invitation to Linked-In in the inbox. I only used this email address for hobby purposes. The invitation was from a woman, based on the name, but I don't remember seeing anyone by that name.
Curious, I went ahead and accepted the invitation and created a new LI account, using the retired pseudonym associated with the account.
I am confident it was sent by a provider now. During the set-up process, it asked me if I knew any of her current contacts to add them to my network. One was a provider. One was an agency.
The rest...I am assuming you guys are clients.
Two questions.
One- Who the fuck uses their real email-address for this? Worse, their work email?
Two- Why would you accept an escort's invitation on your professional Linked-in account?
A possible answer to question 2 is, you didn't recognize the name, and just accepted the invitation. I didn't recognize her.
HA! One of the dudes just accepted my invitation to link up. Insane.
That's been discussed plenty on the boards already.
I am more interested in hearing your thoughts on the Linked-in situation.
Linkedin, facebook and all those other social sites mine your contacts and spam them.
Then the provider used her 'work' address and signed up for Linked-in. She then checked off the option to allow Linked-in to search for connections using her contacts.
This then outed the dipshits who contacted her with their work email address, and then accepted her invitation to connect.
Genius.
He likes getting those unsolicited ads.
BTW...aren't you now one of those "dipshits"?
Easy enough to delete the phishing emails...I tend to see hundreds a day on various email addys. Tag as junk and move along.
Was the hooker hot? Maybe you should send her a PM now.
This then outed the dipshits who contacted her with their work email address, and then accepted her invitation to connect.
Genius.
I am not one of the dipshits. My real name, job title, place of employment, and full list of professional connections is not there for everyone to see.
If you've allowed Linked-In to mine and bot your machine...it will have access to your addy books and such.
Who knows who you're sending invites out to...we'll wait and see LOL
Maybe your boss will get it?
Are you also on Facebook? LOL
Not on this computer. This is an old laptop that I keep around for hobby purposes only. And porn. I am not logged into any other social network account.
When I set up the account, I didn't link it to any other account. The email address isn't used for anything else, either. I also didn't select the option for it to search for connections using my contacts.
But hey, even if it does, again, I don't see how it could be traced back to my real information.
If there's something I am missing, then I too might be one of the dipshits. =)
But if you've used the contact lists for anything including emails...that info can be grabbed and used for these types of phishing trips.
There are just too many options to get personal information out there...hopefully you've minimized (and you have from your post) the opportunity to have it stolen.
As for the gals (and guys) who use Linked-In, FB and other social media...what you got is quite common. And I doubt it will cease any time soon.
Just don't fall for the old Nigerian Prince emails LOL

but I am smart enough to not open up emails from places like Linked in, I was getting two or three of those type of emails a day for a while. Not from hookers, but from other people that I recognized, but knew would never invite me to contact them through Linked-in.
FWIW, I am just too lazy to create yet another email account to have to keep up with, It's no secret to anyone I know that I see hookers, and my "work email" is MY company, so I don't see the harm in using my "work email" It's not like anyone can fire me. lol

Computer 101, never open an unsolicited email ever!
This is the primary reason I would never use any form of social media for anything that could link back to this business. If she had your email in her contact list and joined Linkedin, it hacked her contact list and bam... you got an invite. My Twitter account was hacked in less than a month of being on it... gone.
LI was the first social networking sites for professionals to connect. When you sign in, you get see every remotely connected to by work, area, school, college whatever and they your information also.
All you paranoids should fork out some $ and sign up for hush mail

Maybe you aren't as dumb as you really are.
I'm not the one who thinks that all reviews are fake and all muscular men don't like women. lmfao
