Proactive and timelined

In May 2023, i was approached by a person named "Moiz Amjad" on LinkedIn asking if i had any software development requirements. I didn't have any at the time so i ignored the message. In June 2023, i had a UI/UX design requirement, hence i contacted Moiz and asked for a quote, a day later i had a quote from company called "DevBatch" and the total price was at least 5 times more than the market rate which led me to reject the quote. The very next day, while looking at my LinkedIn chat, i realized that the profile i had been talking to "Moiz Amjad" had overnight changed to "Marie Chris" and everything on the profile was changed as well and this time, it didn't mention "DevBatch" anywhere on the profile. I reported the profile with screenshots to LinkedIn, and LinkedIn took down the profile immediately, later i did some digging and i found out multiple fake profiles that used pictures of other people, mostly other linkedIn members and claimed to hold senior positions at DevBatch Inc. I took screenshots of all of them and once again reported them to LinkedIn, however i also left a review on Google. Few minutes later i was contacted on LinkedIn by "Mahroze Khan" who claimed to be the HR and wanted to know why i posted the review. I told him i knew about the fake profiles and within a few hours, all the fake profiles had "DevBatch" removed from the employment info. Mahroze also claimed the majority of their clientele is based in USA, however if you do some research, their USA office has 0 reviews, and the office based in Pakistan has tons of positive reviews mainly from the company's employees and friends and family. My understanding is, they make fake profiles to lure victims, get the deposits and then disappear
