    It has recently come to my attention that a gentleman is misrepresenting himself as a representative of my company. He has listed his current employer in his LinkedIn profile as Internet Market Consulting yet he as never worked for or in anyway been associated with our company. It is believed that he contacted us regarding a marketing position two years ago however was not hired. There is no contact information listed and/or accessible in his LinkedIn profile in order to send him a letter to cease this misrepresentation.

    Any advice?

    You should also contact him, but definitely contact LinkedIn
