Ask HN: Angel List and fake profiles / investors

7 pointsby tremtabout 14 years ago
Hey guys,<p>I recently added my startup on Angel List and I am getting pitches from some investors, which is all good.<p>However, those investors do not look very real. All of them (that contacted me so far), had a free email account (gmail, gmx or yahoo) and had some companies in their linkedin profiles / twitter profiles that do not look real. In a few of them it looks like a fake identity was created only to be used on Angel List.<p>Have you guys noticed it before?<p>Am I being too paranoid?

How many followers do these said investors have on Twitter or connections in their linkedin profiles?<p>You should be able to find a decent amount of hits by simply googling their name and their respected companies.
