      It's important to report the LinkedIn profile to LinkedIn support with any screenshots. You may find more info here: www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a1336387/recognize-and-report-scams?lang=en
      Also we have a 3-part series on what to do if you were hacked - it may not be the exact case as this video but it can be helpful to ensure your account is locked down after a breach.
