This made unofficial listings pop-up on legitimate job openings.These listings were posted by Michel Rijnders who happens to be a premium user on LinkedIn and it shows the gaping loophole in the job listing process of LinkedIn. The company responded "Thank you Michel Rijnders for bringing this to our attention. We've removed the posting and we're resolving the issue that allowed this post to go live. LinkedIn is a place for real people to have real conversations about their careers".
