Fake LinkedIn executive profiles, found and taken down for you

A fake profile with your CFO’s photo and title connects with employees, investors and customers, then moves the conversation to email, WhatsApp or Telegram. ChainPatrol monitors LinkedIn for profiles using your executives’ names, photos and titles, files the takedown through LinkedIn’s impersonation and trademark routes, and follows up until the profile is gone.

How ChainPatrol handles LinkedIn

How ChainPatrol handles LinkedIn

From a protected identity to a removed profile.

From a protected identity to a removed profile.

01

01

Protect

Each executive is set up as a protected identity with their real profile, photos and name variants.

02

02

Detect

Detection runs continuously on LinkedIn and on the other platforms where the same fakes appear.

03

03

File

We file through LinkedIn’s impersonation, fake employee and trademark routes, with your letter of authorization on file.

04

04

Follow up

If LinkedIn rejects a report, we re-file with more evidence.

05

Track

Every case is tracked in the app with its status and timeline.

Why LinkedIn reports fail

Why LinkedIn reports fail

First reports are often rejected when they come from a colleague instead of the impersonated person, or when the evidence is a screenshot without links. Reports filed with authorization, side-by-side evidence and the right route do better, and a rejected report doesn’t end the case.

Frequently asked questions

Often yes, if it uses the executive’s photo and identity, because LinkedIn’s impersonation policy covers the profile itself. The report needs the executive’s authorization and clear evidence.

No. We need a signed letter of authorization and each executive’s real profile URL and photos. We never log in as them.

It varies. LinkedIn reviews impersonation reports manually, so timing depends on its queue and the evidence. We follow up on every report rather than filing once, and each case shows its status in the app.

Yes. The same fakes often appear on X, Telegram and Facebook. See executive impersonation protection.
