A scammer has been posing as Linklaters’ director of human resources in an attempt to con job seekers out of $1,500, in the latest example of a cyber scam affecting a top law firm.

A report released by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) reveals that documentation misusing the ‘Linklaters LLP’ name is being used to advertise a fake ad to become a “Data entry professional” at the firm.
