What do I do if I know someone is lying about their education level on LinkedIn?
I have just looked up someone on LinkedIn who is claiming to have a degree in Audio Engineering from the University of Central Lancashire. I happen to know he is lying about this. He doesn't even have A Levels. Also, University of Central Lancashire doesn't even do courses in Audio Engineering. It shouldn't bother me but I know he has lied about a lot of other things too. As someone who has just completed a part-time degree (which was really hard to do alongside my full-time job), I am really annoyed that he can just claim to have one without doing any of the hard work that comes with it. I'm not a member of LinkedIn, but would consider joining just for the opportunity to expose him as a fraud. What would you do?

When this individual applies for a job, his credentials will be checked; and any lies exposed. There is no way you can 'expose' this indivdual as a fraud beofre the fact - a linkedin page is not a 'legal' document and anyone can say or claim ainything they want. It is possible you could expose yourself to charges of harrassment if you pursue your intentions.

Linkedin is nothing but a social networking site and people lie on social networking sites all the time. Look at half the crap people post on their Facebook profiles that isn't true. He can post whatever he wants, but as the post above says, if he is being considered for a job and lists that on his CV, the company will probably verify his credentials and see that he lied, and he won't get the job
