More fuel for the bonfire arrived this morning.

I’d been sent a connection request on LinkedIn a day or two ago, and I accepted as I usually do.

And then this spammy approach came in (so bad it makes me think it was produced by a bot):


Why’s it so bad?

  1. My bio tells the world that I’m a writer and editor, suggesting that I probably pay attention to things like writing and editing
  2. This is the person’s first contact with me and it’s all about them
  3. It’s impolite (has the person even asked if I’m interested in remortgaging? No)
  4. Am I seriously going to give out my mobile number when it’s asked for like this? No. But it is clearly displayed on my LinkedIn profile under Contact info. They only had to look

I removed the connection straight away. Thanks Sharon. Goodbye.
