注意：YC 联合创始人匹配平台上的恶意个人资料
4 分•作者: pain_perdu•24 天前
今天我通过 YC 的联合创始人匹配平台获得了一个匹配。对方声称是一位名叫“Dave J.”的经验丰富的英国技术专家。
匹配成功后，对方立即发来了 WhatsApp 链接，并要求在那里联系。接着，他们表示“正在接受一项手术”，无法进行语音或视频通话。
对他们在 YC 个人资料照片进行的图片反向搜索，指向了一个名叫“David W.”的个人网站和 GitHub 页面。然而，当我要求与我交谈的人提供他们的 GitHub 时，他们却提供了一个完全不同的账号，里面充满了信息安全相关的项目。
还有其他几个可疑之处：
* 尽管声称是英国人，但他们的英语水平很差。
* 他们声称没有 LinkedIn，而使用其照片的真实 David W. 却有一个活跃的 LinkedIn 账号。
* 他们不愿意或无法通过语音或视频验证身份。
我没有足够的时间或兴趣继续与对方进行几分钟以上的互动，但请在联合创始人匹配平台上保持警惕。似乎有人在使用虚构的身份和可能盗用的照片来发起对话，并迅速将对话转移到平台之外。
这也不是我第一次在那里遇到可疑的互动。之前有一次，有人要求我冒用我的身份为他们申请工作，或者替他们发帖到 HN。
我已经将此事报告给了 YC。

Today I received a match through YC’s Co-Founder Matching Platform. The user claimed to be an experienced British technologist named “Dave J.”<p>Immediately after matching, they sent me a WhatsApp link and asked to connect there. They then said they were “having a procedure” and were unable to voice or video call.<p>A reverse image search of their YC profile photo led to the website and GitHub of someone named “David W.” When I asked the person I was speaking with for their GitHub, however, they provided a completely different account filled with infosec-related projects.<p>There were several other red flags:<p>• Their command of English was poor despite claiming to be British.
• They claimed not to have LinkedIn, while the real David W., whose photo appeared to have been used, has an active LinkedIn profile.
• They were unwilling or unable to verify their identity by voice or video.<p>I didn’t have the time or interest to let the interaction play out beyond a few minutes, but please be careful on the Co-Founder Matching platform. There appear to be people using fabricated identities and potentially stolen photos to initiate conversations and quickly move them off-platform.<p>This also isn’t the first suspicious interaction I’ve encountered there. On a previous occasion, someone wanted me to apply for jobs on their behalf using my identity or post to HN for them.<p>I’ve reported this one to YC.
