While we're on the topic of online scams... I got the following message on my LinkedIn profile. For those out there who are not familiar with LI, it's the social NETWORKING site for meeting work contacts and creating relationships with potential customers, employers and peers. It's not a dating site and I've been a member for a really long time and never had anyone say anything remotely unprofessional to me there.
YET... it was breached over the weekend. Perhaps I will follow Wii's suit and notify the good folks at LinkedIn about a potential scammer. Here's the message I got:

His profile says he's the chairman, yet look at his writing. Obviously English is not his language; even so, his grammar is deplorable, and his word choices misused. Plus, you google the company, and it doesn't exist. It kind of pissed me off.
