Your reference doesn't lead to anything about fake profiles that I can see. Did I miss miss something? The fake team deal?
Since I was getting quoted from that topic and the images didn't work anymore as I was too lazy to let the bot run all night to convert them to talkimg.
This is how it started:
Abdul Rehman "UI / UX Designer" does not have a linkedin profile available on the site.
Besides, I'm suspicious in this picture... (welcome opinion)

Nothing suspicious about it, he just has a 175% bigger head than others...and very poor paint skillz

Some additional elements, after having discussed by Telegram with
SorsisHere is the original photo of Abdul Rehman

It's ugly, it's particularly poorly done, but in reality only the background has been removed from the image
The issue was dropped since it was indeed a modified picture but it wasn't really a fake one, I never pursued the thing anymore.
So now that you ask me the fake thing does not apply, unless it was really that guy behind the team, and I have like zero idea what happened afterwards.
