Jay has built a global reputation for his work exposing large-scale employment and recruitment fraud on LinkedIn. In one notable investigation, he identified 500 fake job listings on the platform, findings so well-documented and airtight that LinkedIn acted directly on his work to take them down. To date, he has removed over 51,000 fake job postings, eliminated more than 7,000 fraudulent recruiter and career expert profiles, and identified over 700 hijacked verified and premium accounts used for executive impersonation and social engineering, work that has earned him coverage in NBC News and Yahoo News.

Enterprises engage Jay when fake job listings using their branding are undermining candidate trust, when executives are being impersonated to run scams on employees or customers, or when internal trust and safety responses aren’t moving fast enough to contain real risk. He runs high-stakes investigations, shuts down fraud networks tied to corporate brands, and designs practical controls that teams can actually execute.

At CAT Investigators, Jay strengthens the firm’s capacity to tackle sophisticated digital fraud at scale, bringing a proven, evidence-driven methodology to an increasingly complex threat landscape that most organizations don’t see coming until the damage is already done.
