Fake profiles and jobs on www.bayt.com

I posted my resume on http://www.bayt.com and in the past 2 months already got 3 fake profiles wanting to " connect" with me. I cross checked them with LinkedIn and other social networks and they were evident discrepencies. Not saying LinkedIn is the wholy grail, I've also noticed fake profiles, but if there, already there are differences in jobs and companies, but using the same picture, there is a "bug".

Herewith the first one, my mail to this "person" asking for information as the first mail was very "light" in content and details:

Dear Mr Saleh Al Ali,

Thanks for your email; I am very honored you did contact me. I guess you will have seen by résumé on Bayt and also noticed I'm not in the Gas Industry, therefore I have to wonder why you would not contact a person with more knowledge of your industry and with existing connections and work experience in Africa, as this is where you seem to have potential.

Please be so kind to let me know exactly how you would see this cooperation work.

Best Regards,

As I was checking his profile, I contacted the "Saleh Al Ali" at the Real Dugas informing his name and company were used by scammers, never got a reply back.

My mail to DUGAS:

À: [email protected]

Dear Sirs,

I have been contacted over a job networking site (bayt.com) by a person who claims to be working on your behalf and who would like to establish a 2 years supplier contract with me.

I would like to have confirmation that this gentleman does actually work for you or acts on your behalf, before engaging in correspondance with him.

This is his contact information:

The latest scam attempt came in this morning:

I compared his "profile" on bayt and on LinkedIn, and there again, evident discrepencies with job experiences. Except the picture is the same, getting lazy I suppose.

Last week, the following person established a contact with me: and I replied to her via bayt.com:

Dear Toku

Thanks for your connection request and your business proposal. At the moment I am very busy running a series of projects in Europe and the USA and they are taking all my time, including spare time.

I'm afraid I cannot at this point enter into a new business activity, even on my "private" time.

I wish you the best of luck in finding the adequate business partner,

Best Regards,

I did write to Bayt to complain about this amount of fake profile and did not get a reply.
My recommendation: do not leave your profile on this website !
