Earlier today, I wrote an article about ♥️ My Love ♥️ of scammers.
I dictated that, and it inserted a heart emoji.
I'm gonna keep them because it's that kind of New Year's Eve.
I'm about to go out to dinner with my wife, which you do for New Year's Eve when you're 44. And if you've been relentlessly stalked for years like me! I like to keep a low profile on New Year's Eve 2024. However, I got the following message on LinkedIn just a few moments ago and had to share it with you, my dear readers! I’m kind of a big deal on LinkedIn…Just look at my articles about my engagement rate deconstructing! Someone noticed. “Her” name? Anna…
Usually, I would decline, but given my article earlier today, my heart was a little more open to the possibility of magic.
As soon as I clicked accept, I got that little hint with the bows and the dresses that this is someone who is really ready to bring their A game…at least with emojis.
At this point, you'll notice there's something a little bit off…but I decided I would tell this individual, or algorithm, or whatever they are, about my article earlier today.
I'm going to zoom in for a second…there is something a bit strange about this conversation:
Wait for it…It’s coming…
Oh my. My dearest Anna, you should probably read my messages. I'm going to notice if you don't! I might even write a whole article about it. Oh my God, the satire is coming from within the house! It's happening right now, Anna.
Alas, scammers and sarcasm are mutually exclusive.
Other scammers have figured out that I am in the healthcare field or that I might be interested in future roles in the healthcare field. Maybe she can check with Valentina or Princess Panda?
Alas, some LinkedIn algorithm figured out this was a scambot before I could make this article more absurd…
Well, happy new year, everybody! And just like that, my precious Anna became “LinkedIn Member” and vanished into the ether. This, too, I’m afraid, shall pass.
