My boss got an invitation this morning, allegedly from me. The time this invitation was sent was while I was asleep. I do not remember ever inviting him. I consider this no less than phishing.
The website itself looked great, kind of an academic LinkedIn.
I get spammed about open positions etc.
It's quite annoying, but I guess that if I look hard enough I can unsubscribe from these emails.
Repeatedly sending random signup invitations from people I don't know because someone, somewhere, had the same last name as me? Seriously?
Trying to be the reunion.com of science site, apparently.
Nice web site with a lot of information about the diferent investigators them research and the citations! Professional and safe, suitable for kids but probably they will not have access
Usefull site for scientists but default settings send spam.
Some people say RG send unwanted invitations (like Badoo) but I never received such emails.
