News Summary

• A company I interviewed with is listing me as a "Senior Advisor" on its website and sales deck.
• I have never worked for them..
• Image is representative only and does not depict the actual subjects of the story.
• Then, once they get caught, comes the familiar defense that the information was public.
• A fake title is already bad enough, but a fake testimonial is the business equivalent of writing yourself a birthday card from George Clooney and hoping nobody checks the handwriting.
• So then sales prospect sees the deck, assumes the advisor network is real, and sends an email through the person’s actual employer asking for an introduction.
• At that point, the company has moved beyond a sloppy website update and into a very strange form of professional identity cosplay.
