I've been in contact with the university staff in charge of attempting to gain access to a fake profile. This page is associated with over 95K alumni profiles on LinkedIn. So far, they have contacted LinkedIn multiple times since 2020, but have had no success so far. They are attempting to set up a meeting with Microsoft's general manager in Costa Rica to see what can be done. Is there someone from LinkedIn in HackerNews who could direct this issue to the correct person internally? This is the fake profile: https://www.linkedin.com/school/universidad-de-costa-rica/
