Bruh the harry potter theme song scared the shit out of me as it turned itself on. Bad UX for a personal site. Great article btw !
sorry, i added it to set the mood for my site :') yk, like moving lamps at the top, hanging dementor at the right side (only visible on desktops). should i remove it?
there is no place for fun, whimsy, moods, or personalization on the web. sorry.
(no, at least not at the request of random internet stranger #10545346)
I assume these types of things are going to become more and more common. Looks like these folks really did their homework. It's nasty, but I have to respect their skills. I'll bet it works, quite often.
Their "skills" might just be borrowed from some LLM.
I suspect it's clever, experienced, engineers, leveraging LLMs.

Maybe they don't want to give any identifying info to the domain registrar? Or just minimizing their online presence?
My takeaway from this is that I should use the same defense as when someone calls you "from you bank". When they reach out directly, go to the real company's site to apply and contact a real recruiter. If you can't validate that the business is legit before, then assume malfeasance.
it was in this moment, that gtowey’s outdated job solutions transitioned them from unc to boomer
I'm not talking about switching to cold contacting companies as a job hunting strategy. I'm saying if you get a suspicious outreach from a rando on linked in on behalf of a company THEN you only continue if you can reach out to the same person via official company channels.
If LinkedIn actually cared about preventing scams, they could implement verification using company emails if you want to list your current employment. And if it is too much of a heavy burden, then at the minimum you should have it as an optional feature that recruiters would have to comply with, if they want to be legitimate.
they added this back in 2023 (https://news.linkedin.com/2023/april/linkedin-s-new-verifica...), but very less people actually bother to verify with their email, so not having it doesn't always mean it's illegitimate.
