TiNYg Speaking Engagement
On May 13, 2026, I had the pleasure of speaking to a room of police, FBI, and cybersecurity executives about my work as The Profiler. There were four impactful sessions and mine covered the topic of Identity Crisis: AI, Cyber Threats and the New Insider Risk.
The Profiler in the News!
NBC News reporter Shannon Pettypiece heard about my work as The Profiler and featured it in her story on job scams.
This has global impact and the casualties are unsuspecting job seekers. Check out the full story below.
Deep-investigative review of your applicant pipeline. I personally verify the identity, employment history, and risk profile of candidates you flag for closer examination — catching what your ATS, your background check vendor, and your ID verification tools cannot.
What corporations are struggling with:
• North Korean IT workers infiltrating Western engineering teams under stolen identities
• Proxy interview fraud — one person passes the technical screen, a different person shows up on day one
• AI-generated resumes, cover letters, and interview answers that defeat traditional screening
• Identity theft applicants using real people’s credentials, photos, and employment history
• Money mule recruitment into AP, treasury, and executive-support roles — BEC fraud from inside the building
• Voice-cloning and deepfake video interviews that pass live video screens
What I’ll do per candidate:
• LinkedIn profile authenticity verification — using the same methodology that produced 54,210 fraudulent-job takedowns and 7,000+ fake-profile removals
• Cross-platform identity consistency check across LinkedIn, GitHub, X, public records, prior employer footprints
• Employment history validation — confirming the candidate worked where they claim, in the role they claim, during the dates they claim
• Photo and document forensic review for AI generation, image reuse, and known fraud-pattern markers
• Pattern matching against documented fraud-operator typologies (Talentify network, Panzer network, North Korean IT worker indicators, money-mule recruitment patterns)
• Risk scorecard with confidence interval and specific red flags identified

• Risk scorecard with confidence interval and specific red flags identified
Deliverables per candidate:
• Investigation report (PDF) with executive summary and detailed findings
• Risk score: Low → Medium → High → Critical, with the specific evidence behind each tier
• Clear recommendation: Proceed / Proceed with additional verification / Decline
• Screenshots and evidence archive supporting every flag raised
• 24–48 hour turnaround on standard cases; rush available
Pricing:
Single candidate (standard): $1,500
Bundle of 5 candidates: $6,000 ($1,200 each)
Bundle of 10 candidates: $10,000 ($1,000 each)
Bundle of 25 candidates: $20,000 ($800 each) — enterprise rate
Rush 24-hour turnaround: $3,000 per candidate
Executive / C-suite candidate review: $3,500 per candidate
What makes this different:
• Human pattern recognition. ATS systems, background-check vendors (HireRight, Checkr), and ID verification tools (Persona, Jumio, Onfido) catch what is catchable by automation. They miss what is designed to defeat automation. I catch what they miss.
• Built on real fraud-operator pattern data. 54,210 takedowns of upstream fake-employer fraud means I know exactly what the downstream fake-candidate fraud looks like — the same operators run both sides.
• Direct deliverable. No portal, no dashboard, no integration project. You send the candidates. I send the report. You make the decision.

In the mission to protect you, entrepreneurs, solopreneurs and legitimate companies from scammers I noticed a problem. There wasn’t a definitive resource on how to safely navigate looking for work on LinkedIn. While there are other job boards, LinkedIn boasts more than one billion users. Unfortunately, many are scammed daily. You might’ve been scammed. I don’t want to see that happen to anyone else. So, I created this free resource for you to reference while searching for your next opportunity.
In this guide you’ll learn how to:
→ Identify a fake profile, recruiter and email address
→ Know what's attracting the scammers *whispers* it's the green banner
→ Quickly see who is faking followers on their profiles to appear more credible
→ Interpret the messaging style of a scammer so you can avoid trusting bad actors
→ Determine when a profile's title doesn't match their actions i.e. recruiting but they’ve never recruited
→ Avoid a costly decision because you’re desperate to believe this opportunity is the real thing

When you think you’ve just been scammed on LinkedIn.
Vol. 1 teaches you to spot a scam before it starts. Vol. 2 teaches you how the operators think. This kit is what you reach for when something has already happened — the 30 minutes between the moment you realize you may have been scammed and the moment you take the right next steps.
What’s inside:
→ A one-page decision tree that routes you to the right action sheet based on what happened to you
→ Five two-page action sheets covering: money sent, identity documents shared, personal info exposed, suspicious-but-not-engaged, and LinkedIn account hijacked
→ Five fill-in-the-blank reporting templates: FTC, FBI IC3, LinkedIn Trust & Safety, your bank, and state Attorney General — with the phrasing that actually gets a response
→ Three recruiter verification scripts that force a suspect recruiter to reveal whether they are real
→ Fourteen LinkedIn settings to harden your profile in 10 minutes
→ The full escalation tree for when LinkedIn won’t respond — including the verified executive emails that work
Built from 54,210 fake-job takedowns, 7,000+ removed fake profiles, and 1,000+ hijacked profile restorations. Same investigator. Same patterns. Faster answers when the clock matters most.
Stay vigilant.
