Title: Strange mail via LinkedIn
Post by: Reggle on March 02, 2016, 01:24:59 AM
Hi everyone,

I received the following mail via LinkedIn...

QuoteHi Reggle,
I have gone through your profile and was impressed by your expertise in Cisco. We are leading provider of online Test preps, Courses & Labs for IT and Project Management certification exams. I was wondering if you could take out some moments to review our Cisco course and provide your valuable feedback.

Our courses are authored by the industry experts (with 15+ years of experience) and we have a fan base of 600,000 happy customers in 200 countries worldwide.
We would like to issue you our popular Cisco course for FREE. The course suits your expertise and after successful completion of the course, you can pass the certification exam in your first attempt!

Interested?  How about providing your email-id to take the discussion ahead?
We can provide you a backlink to your blogs or social media page. We will mention you in our social media platforms, highlighting your expertise and your comments for us!

Awaiting your response.

Thanks & Regards,

I'm not sure what to say. The site in question looks legitimate and I don't find anything related to braindumps right away.
What are your thoughts? Legitimate invite? Or fishy?

Greetings!

It's the same one that was spamming on this forum and on the old one. Threads were deleted then.  She also added me on LinkedIn but apparently not impressed by my expertise in Cisco  :mrgreen:

Certguard says it's legit but found this thread on techexams (http://www.techexams.net/forums/general-certification/75244-ucertify-legit-study-material-test-dumps.html) so quality seems mediocre. Not sure about the backlinking thing, sounds more like they want you to plug their material.

Yeah, well, the 'free' in the mail sounded too good to be true. Thanks for the information!
