And this gives Connor a new thread to pull on.

It was just, it was strange. Giving a fake phone number. I love it. It reminds me of this scene from the classic movie, The Blues Brothers.

A good criminal will always throw people off with what looks like real information but is actually something bogus.

That's hilarious. A web design company boasting about how they can create great looking websites, but they didn't even create their own website. The footer says it was made by someone else. Connor wasn't sure what was happening, but thought that maybe companies were hiring an individual to build their sites who then would turn the project over to P&D Design to do the actual work.

But he doesn't know. It was just so frustrating to have all these puzzle pieces and have no idea what the finished picture looks like. But Connor does the only thing he can, but just start emailing companies who P&D claimed to have worked with.

Things are just so weird at this point. Was the P&D person in the Slack channel actually affiliated with P&D Design, or were they just impersonating that company too? So many layers of fakeness going on here and impersonations that it's just really hard to know what's real and who to trust here.

Connor has tried to reach out to so many people involved, but then realized, hey, wait, why not reach out to Connor? Not the real Connor, but the fake Connor, the one who was impersonating him. So he writes to it. Why are you impersonating me?

The full response he got back from the fake Connor was, sorry, but you have a great GitHub and you look cute. Of course, Connor's first reaction is anger. But perhaps there's a bit of information in there that's helpful.

So Connor starts learning all kinds of new things about this mystery from the help of people on the internet. It turns out there's a story that Brian Krebs wrote a while ago, which talks about faked LinkedIn profiles.

So this article is interesting. LinkedIn is where people go to look for jobs and network and do hiring. But there's a huge amount of fake profiles being created every day. These profiles are real tricky, though, because they're like half AI generated and half real. And they take some real information from certain LinkedIn accounts, but then change a few things on it.
