LINKEDIN’S BINANCE PROFILES ARE FAKE, WARNS CEO

[PRIBO247]

Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, better known by his initials CZ,
has sent a message to his followers on social media this
afternoon, warning of the large number of fraudulent professional
profiles on Linkedin claiming to be employees of Binance itself,
along with a number of examples of the kind of scams that such
profiles have been engaged in.
Highlighting that there are over 500 fake profiles on the world’s
leading professional social network claiming to be employees of
the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange, CZ points out that
– as a matter of in-house policy – Binance employees who work
with its listings services do not list their employer.

"Be aware of scammers.  Most of the 500+ “Binance
employees” on LinkedIn are FAKE.  Our listing team is
not public on LinkedIn.  We will never contact you first
about listing applications."

Most profiles listing Binance as an employer claim to be either
traders or investors, in an attempt to lure ICO projects and
individuals via private messages into paying for so-called
advisory services that include the promise of a listing of their
project on the platform or access to lucrative “insider”
information.

Binance has also been combatting fraudulent imitation accounts
on Telegram, Twitter and Facebook in recent months along with
phishing emails and Trojan software designed to infiltrate user
accounts since the platform first launched in July of 2017.
To date, however, there has been no serious breach of the
platform which currently carries just over 500 staff on its books.
