This guy is cheating 50k people
There is a guy in LinkedIn who has almost 50k followers, in his profile he has mentioned, he works in MICROSOFT I used to read his blogs , so I thought as we are in same company, I was curious to know in which team he is in. So u tried to search him & there was no profile. No person in this name at all His LinkedIn shows his profile is validated but am not sure about this cause, we can connect to any MICROSOFT FTE, but his name was not found. He is absolutely lying Hope you guys be aware of him !! PRATUL YADAV

I think verifications are also done by Aadhar card, maybe he used that? This is so problematic and god know how many profiles like this are out there for the purpose for scamming for interviews, coaching, job referrals and even marriage!!
Not sure bcz mine I authenticated but I remember I didn’t use adhaar but may be you’re right
Most of the YouTubers who are trending on YouTube are if u notice are SDE1s , join right after college and leverage the brand name and keep telling students what to do
I have personally worked with few if not all ( parallel team) not directly and they actually suck at their job seriously
No work ethic. Their YouTube personalities are so different than reality but not everyone would be same. My only concern is for students who are lured by these folks and they run after things which are not so lucrative as it seems

LinkedIn verification works on email based OTP. And old verification works. So it is likely that he was earlier a Microsoft employee, and did linkedIn verification at that time, and continued with that same badge even after resigning.
I have seen some people’s profiles where their previous organisation is A, and profile verification too is org A, even though current org is B.
How can LinkedIn have his profile validated? Don’t someone from Microsoft report this to LinkedIn and block him?
I think there is a hack may be , didn’t try bt let’s say u say i work in a company called abcd and u add that email, validate and then update to any company. Here am guessing this but not sure completely
I remember seeing some cringe posts from him .. I think on his linkedin he posted both his amazon and Microsoft employee badge ,so don't think he is fake
True ! But may be he is not working anymore! I tried searching him but he is not there in the database
I know this guy personally. I have worked with him in Amazon. Can personally vouch, he is not a scammer or anything.
See two things , either he is a scammer or he has resigned Microsoft and still using the badge. That’s all
Using the badge to get views and increase his followers! He can write ex- whatever and that’s fine. Totally fine !! I know he has uploaded pics from ofc , his id etc etc, but trust me am not able to find him in the system (and I have access to all employees including the CEO) so….
