I received a message from someone on the forum offering to help me review applications through this AI app before submitting the application. Has anyone else received a message from a user on here. They also shared their LinkedIn account with me, but the LinkedIn account seems fake.

Okay thanks. Kind of surprised cause I assumed they look at all applications only after the deadline? That is how I plan my dates of submitting the application by checking if the firm is rolling or not, I haven’t submitted yet
No worries but guess it might have been my test feedback or my commercial question not that great.

Please can you PM me with details of who this is - TCLA rules means this is not allowed and I will need to ban the member in questions (we have already banned one account for this same reason).
