Got this email from an ex colleague and it’s a link to fill up a survey on some site. What’s wrong is that it seems to be trying to look like it came from LinkedIn, complete with the footer LinkedIn uses with your details to supposedly help you identify whether an email is really coming from them (http://help.linkedin.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4788) though they do acknowledge it’s not the only way.
A quick google shows it is a spamming /phishing email http://www.justprofessionals.net/2013/07/avoid-mybizcard-but-don%E2%80%99t-blame-the-messenger
It’s amazing how convincing their email is, if you look at the sender, it even shows an @linkedin.com address to keep the receiver’s suspicions at bay.
I’m guessing it’s because they’re using LinkedIn APIs? LinkedIn should block API access unless we’ve all missed something and this is a legitimate partnership between the two companies.
