Rapid Trust-Transfer Request on LinkedIn

A request to introduce, recommend, or vouch for the person to someone else, unusually early in the relationship. On LinkedIn, where the dominant catfish pattern is a fabricated executive/military persona used to lend financial or romantic credibility, this tactic is a common companion to that pattern. LinkedIn has no native video-call feature, so testing for this tactic usually means proposing a call on a separate app instead.
