It's so they can run up commissions before the end of the year so they make their numbers.

OP: you might want to think of a safe guide for your money if you can't tell a scam email from a legit one.

In the former case, what's next after I sell in my Fidelity account? The scammer probably directs me to buy crypto on their platform or simply transfer the settlement fund over there.
Did scammers get my Email address and phone number from Fidelity? Or did they tell everyone "Your portfolio is aggressive."?
OMG, 100% scam.

Give us some number. What an how much? How big of a portion is it?
OP here. I'm half ETF/mutual funds (total market index, s&p 500 and tech) and half individual stocks (insurance companies, semi and defense) in this account. I never thought this is aggressive.
Yours is not, sounds like a scam. I have 1/2 S&P index and 1/2 tech stocks, quite aggressive, and Fidelity never called me.

I've never had a legit company willing to pay people who speak English. 😂 Only scammers.

Look at what frm.com is:
http://www.frm.com/
It's a steel manufacturer.

By the way, LinkedIn profiles are trivially easy to fake. Never believe any LinkedIn profike.
Also, do not use internal messaging unless you have confirmed *outside the Internet* that “Jane Doe working at XYZ” really is the LinkedIn profile for your friend Jane Doe.
A scammer broke into the account of a former colleague who is dead. Scammer used LinkedIn messaging to try to contact me as if they were my former colleague. Unfortunately for the scammer, I knew that said colleague was actually dead, so ignored them.

That is fake. Fidelity has a different set of letters after the @ sign. It is a scam attempt. Do not respond in any way.

Basically the scammer uses the identity of a real person of authority or a real member of a financial institution. They eventually get you to transfer money. They don't necessarily just get your password from you because that is easier to spot as fraudulent.
Thank you.

If you want to contact Fidelity, go to their website on your own, not by clicking on an email link. Then verify the website says .....fidelity.com. and not fidelity.somethingelse.com.
Recently I googled vanguard to check my account. It was a sponsored link and a fake website. I tried to log in, thus giving up my password. When I checked the address I realized my mistake. I went to the real website and reset my password.

That is an absolute fake email. It's a scam. Personally I am getting these a lot more recently and they are more difficult to identify as fake.
