OfficeHours Fake Employee LinkedIn
Saw a recent thread talking about OfficeHours and thought this was the right time to post. Something I've always been wondering about the company is their business development employee "Brooke Baker."
Does anyone even think she's a real person? It crossed my mind that this lady:
1. Has a completely non-filled out LinkedIn other than school and graduation year, for a business that is 100% marketed through LinkedIn.
2. Girl graduated from NYU but has no other job other than being a business dev analyst for OfficeHours, yet isn't noteworthy enough to be part of their "team" on their website?
3. Has the most generic name in the world (to make it difficult for investigative people) and has no trace online (after googling with keywords that would make it likely for literally ANYTHING about this girl to come up)
4. Has a generic stock photo of a white blonde girl
5. Had NO LinkedIn activity before working at office hours? (Alarm bells here)
Edit: 6. Someone in the other thread confirmed in the NYU database that there’s no Brooke Baker.
Seriously is sketchy. As an avid Tinder user throughout college I've been able to sniff catfishes out within seconds of seeing their profile and was never wrong. The moment she requested to add me on LinkedIn my catfish alarms were going off but I thought, no one is weird enough to catfish on LinkedIn right?
I feel like the founders definitely thought, man these bankers definitely don't want coaching from two nerdy ass dudes, what if we had a fake LinkedIn of a girl? Any NYU alumni wanna check the database to see if there is even a Brooke Baker that graduated in 2020 (or even at all)? Seriously seems like they're the type of dudes to have a fake LinkedIn account of a girl to attract male bankers.
I bet the founders of OfficeHours are gonna try to report this post for doxxing but is it doxxing if the person isn't real? lol
.
Literally nobody around here knows what the fuck you're talking about, what OfficeHours even is, or gives a shit for that matter
Thanks for your insight, Rohit.
Edit: Rohit with the sneaky edit to add a diss on OfficeHours to make the comment seem more legit
I remember doing some detective work on Mrs. Baker a couple months ago when this was last brought up. To add to all of the above, I noticed she doesn't follow (or is followed by) the business or the two founders on instagram. Which is weird because 1) given she's business development, you would think she has some type of social media for outreach/PR purposes and 2) every single attractive blonde girl in her early 20's has an instagram, so why is she the exception? I also tried reverse photo searching her picture; of course, they used the most generic pic of the most generic blonde girl in an attempt to make that difficult. But I found something circumstantially weird: look at the link below (type "." instead of "dot") and look at the second picture. I honestly think Brooke's picture is AI generated then edited in order to be made unique.

Holy shit that link you post had a girl (second pic) almost identical to “Brooke” just older looking. That’s actually insane and really sad actually
Brooke's pfp is 100% artificially generated. At least Nadia's is semi-plausible, but Brooke's is just hilariously obvious. No way these people exist.
Bro how tf you even find that link 🤣🤣
actually a good amount of new companies create fake bot employees on linkedin, they likely used a third party service that generated it for them and schedule posts / emails on "her" behalf
Holy shit, that link proves the account is almost 100% fake. Rohit and Asif should be the new Jeffrey Chang’s of WSO.
Utilizing a fake account to sell the service is incredibly dishonest, manipulative, and morally culpable. It would be one thing to do that for a consumer business with lots of customers or something, but they are dealing with sophisticated clients (although early in their career). They should issue an apology in their next spam email—you don’t do this short of shit with sophisticated clients or counterparties. Are they also lying about placements or manufacturing text conversations between themselves to then share as though a “mentee” is offering them thanks/ support? Absolute scum.
