You know what’s worse than a scam email?
A LinkedIn InMail that preys on your career goals before you've finished your first sip of Red Bull.
In this episode of The Career Cantina, we unpack one real message from a mysterious “recruitment assistant” named Barry — and what it reveals about how modern job scams have evolved.

âś… How scammers use trends like AI to bait hopeful professionals
âś… Practical ways to protect your hope without losing your skepticism
