WARNING:LOOK OUT FOR SPONSORED LINKEDIN MESSAGES THAT ARE "AI CRAP" SCAMS

During the last 24 hours, I have received 2 sponsored LinkedIn messages that are AI-generated scams.

1 was offering the opportunity to discuss a paid advisor role.
1 was offering the opportunity to discuss a paid board member role.

When I replied to initial messages, both wanted my WhatsApp and/or Telegram phone numbers in order to proceed.

The language used when I asked follow-up questions was typical AI style of writing (eg formality in odd places, lacking understanding of the obvious distrust per the tone of my follow-up questions)

Upon further research, neither of the people actually exist in LinkedIn in the job capacity claimed.

I am disappointed that LinkedIn does not have filters for this "AI Crap".
