Lyft referral gone wrong

I asked for a referral for Lyft here on Blind and someone offered to helped. We DM'd and I sent my email, LinkedIn, resume, and position link. They said they referred me but the system said I was already in the system or something. I've never applied to or been contacted by Lyft. How is this possible? I haven't gotten an email from Lyft after they said they refered me. What should I do next? Apply online? Thanks in advance.

I think he just wanted your identity. You’re exposed!

Have you heard of this happening before? what should I do about it?

I think you need to change your name to fix this.

Lyft sucks

Don’t worry. The system says that all the time. It doesn’t mean anything bad. You should apply online also.

Can I email you for a Lyft referral ?

It’s fine, greenhouse says the candidate is in the system all the time. I think recruitment team is overloaded right now and it takes them longer to get in touch with referees.

You were probably “sourced” and entered into the system by a sourcer from LinkedIn scrubbing.
