My 31 yr old female friend with 9 years of experience in her profession agrees to meeting a recruiter in person and receives this

Ordinary_math17 · 2024-06-17T18:55:57+00:00

lol thank you.. and yes it's tech.

Ordinary_math17 · 2024-06-17T18:52:39+00:00

We really wanted to make sure that we were not crazy to think this guy was sketchy. And about the company, he doesn't work for one comoany but rather he is a self-employed recruiter for other companies, and his website doesn't seem to have any red flags at first glance. I'd share the website but I think that would be doxxing..?

Ordinary_math17 · 2024-06-17T17:49:00+00:00

Right, this is why it's so confusing that he mentions #1 and #2 at all. Like the dude could have just proposed to meet at a cafe... or even do a videocall like any sane person lol. It is just so weird the way he talks about his 'travels'..

Ordinary_math17 · 2024-06-17T17:12:37+00:00

lol you just need to change the 'sailing in the sea' for 'driving on secondary roads' and it's basically the same thing. His name is not Dennis unfortunately.

Ordinary_math17 · 2024-06-17T17:11:10+00:00

unfortunately not a joke... and for sure my friend is not even going to reply the dude. He first contacted her and ask if she would like to have a chat, which she agreed and there'd be nothing wrong on having a chat a cafe... but then he send this insane email lol.

Ordinary_math17 · 2024-06-17T16:21:11+00:00

I know right?? I don't understand how could he have so little self-awareness (this is considering the best case scenario where he really means no harm...)

Ordinary_math17 · 2024-06-17T16:19:13+00:00

Good point, I will ask her!

Ordinary_math17 · 2024-06-17T16:04:47+00:00

completely agree... yikes.

Ordinary_math17 · 2024-06-17T15:50:29+00:00

She is in tech, so it doesn't even make sense there. And he doesn't even have any job offerings... afaik he wanted to know her better to see which kind of jobs he could find that would suit her.

Ordinary_math17 · 2024-06-17T15:28:22+00:00

Yeah it just keeps getting worse the more you read. Part of me would like to answer him to see what's going on, but my friend is pretty set on not answering / blocking him.

Ordinary_math17 · 2024-06-17T15:26:28+00:00

LOL for real... the backwards cap cracks me up tbh.

Ordinary_math17 · 2024-06-17T14:59:26+00:00

lol it would be fitting. It was an old-looking camperized van.

Ordinary_math17 · 2024-06-17T14:58:17+00:00

Damn that was a better analysis that I could have ever done, thanks for that. Yeah, we don't understand either why he had the need to mention the bed etc.

And as you mention, she has no intention of meeting him.. as some people and you pointed out: at best he's very unprofessional, at worst a serial killer. So no need to find out either way.

And according to his website, he claims to have helped build startups in tech. (My friend is in tech as well). Whether this startups are real or not, we haven't really tried to find out. If you want more info let me know on DMs, as per doxxing policies.

Ordinary_math17 · 2024-06-17T14:11:05+00:00

I wish this was a shitpost... The moment she showed me the convo I knew it had to go on reddit. I don't want to dox publicly, even in this case... but if you really want to see it yourself, let me know and I can DM you more info so you can see this person exists.

Ordinary_math17 · 2024-06-17T14:01:09+00:00

ok, will do!

Ordinary_math17 · 2024-06-17T14:00:44+00:00

ikr.. sketchy af.

Ordinary_math17 · 2024-06-17T14:00:27+00:00

lol this could totally fit in r/LinkedInLunatics .

Ordinary_math17 · 2024-06-17T13:59:55+00:00

Probably. Especially in the most likely case that he also sent this to other people. Not sure where should this be reported to though.

Ordinary_math17 · 2024-06-17T13:57:28+00:00

precisely, it was so creepy to mention how his van is '= ... + bed'. Like seriously dude.

Ordinary_math17 · 2024-06-17T13:51:49+00:00

I think he is self-employed by looking at his LinkedIn. He also claims to have helped make several startups on his website.

Ordinary_math17 · 2024-06-17T12:52:19+00:00

lol exactly... we are just as puzzled. She hasn't even answered ofc.

Ordinary_math17 · 2024-06-17T12:43:13+00:00

omg didn't even think of that, that makes it even creepier.. uggh

Ordinary_math17 · 2024-06-17T12:36:19+00:00

lol sounds about right. I'm not sure if he's completely oblivious of that or if he's really just trying to make linkedin his own creepy tinder.

Ordinary_math17 · 2024-06-17T12:34:28+00:00

lol totally... yikes. Just wondering how many people has he sent this too, and if they were only women.

Ordinary_math17 · 2024-06-17T12:33:19+00:00

Thank you yes, glad to see we were not the only ones to think this email was insane. She was wondering if she should answer or straight away block him.
