- logicallee 11y agodo you see any difference between these two statements: "John Fraser has just added you as an employer, can you confirm? -Linkedin" "I'd like to add you as an employer on linkedin, can you confirm! -John Fraser"
- joshfraser 11y agoOf course I do. I wasn't meaning to condone their behavior, only to share that it's something they do extensively and give some context on their potential motivation for it. They send these emails from team@angel.co but the name and content definitely gives the impression it came from someone else.
