Is LinkedIn a Threat to your Safety?

LinkedIn and Background Checks

Before anyone gets freaked out by the title of this article, let me assure you that People Search News has always been a fan of LinkedIn. Being a pioneer in business social networking, LinkedIn has helped thousands of professionals gain new clients, find employment and grow their businesses. In fact, a few of our staffers (Dubleche and Agony) were found using this social network. The bottom line is that if you want to make business contacts, you need to visit LinkedIn. However, as with any social network, there may be some risk in getting personally or financially involved with someone you meet on LinkedIn.
