It invites you to click a link \u00a0to read your unread messages.  \u00a0The email includes a photograph depicting a LinkedIn office building.<\/p>\n<p>However, the email is not from LinkedIn.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, it is a rather crude <a title=\"Phishing Scams - Anti-Phishing Information\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/phisher-scams.html\">phishing scam<\/a> designed to steal your account information.<\/p>\n<p>If you click the link in the email, you will be taken to a fraudulent website that \u00a0has \u00a0been designed to emulate a genuine LinkedIn login page. A form \u00a0on the page asks you to enter your LinkedIn email address and password. After you submit your login details, a second form will ask for your email address, email password, and phone number. When you click the &#8220;submit&#8221; button on the second form, a popup message will inform you that your unread messages will be emailed to you.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the criminals responsible for this phishing attack can use the stolen information to hijack both your LinkedIn account and your email account. Once they have \u00a0gained access, the criminals can then use your accounts to perpetrate further scam and scam campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>If you receive one of these emails, do not click any links or open any attachments that it contains. It is always safest to login to all of your online accounts by entering the \u00a0address into your browser&#8217;s address bar or via a trusted app.<\/p>\n<p>The LinkedIn website <a title=\"LinkedIn - Phishing Emails\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/help\/linkedin\/answer\/5342\/phishing-emails?lang=en\">includes \u00a0information<\/a> about such phishing scams and how to submit any scam messages that you \u00a0have received.<\/p>\n<p>\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Third Content Ad Responsive --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"1909104632\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- HS Net Bottom AdLinks --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\" data-ad-slot=\"1358951439\" data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"date\">Last updated: August 29, 2016<br \/>\nFirst published: August 29, 2016<br \/>\nBy Brett M.
