I received a message from a stranger on LinkedIn in fall of 2020: “Good talking to you the other day.” I assumed they’d intended to message some other person with the same name, but no, it turned out that someone had applied for a developer position at their company as me. They gave me a link to the person’s profile on another site, which was basically a copy of my LinkedIn profile, with some details tailored (presumably) to the role in question. We both contacted the site and soon after the fake profile disappeared. I hadn’t thought about it since. A strange detail from my perspective, reading this thread: my first name is also Connor.
