I'm Jay Jones, a writer who got into the job market and saw right away that something was badly wrong. Scammers, fake recruiters, fake companies. The whole gamut of fraud. So I started exposing them. I'm now known as The Profiler. I post cases against bad actors on LinkedIn nearly every day. I track down everyone involved, from the beginners to the people running these operations.

Why should you care?

In September 2026 The Wall Street Journal ran a story on my work on its front page: "Vigilante Takes On Job-Market Scammers" (https://www.wsj.com/tech/the-vigilante-whos-taking-down-recruitment-scammers-one-fake-job-ad-at-a-time-e441b100). I've also been covered by NBC News (https://lnkd.in/g5rQPqNG), Entrepreneur (https://www.entrepreneur.com/business-news/fake-job-ads-are-everywhere-this-internet-vigilante-has-removed-60000-of-them) and Yahoo News.

I'm a regular guest on cybercrime and fraud podcasts, including Stolen and Easy Prey. So far I've removed nearly 60,000 fake jobs and taken down more than 7,000 fake resume writers and recruiters. I've also disrupted more than 1,000 hijacked accounts.

That makes LinkedIn and the job market safer for you.

More importantly, I've helped people find real jobs and shown others what to avoid in their search.

I don't accept the job market the way it is, and I'm working to make it better for everyone.

Thank you for joining me in this mission.
