I think it's a real company.

He changed his LinkedIn to a different company. I guess check verifications when you get messages from "recruiters."

On LinkedIn can’t you create an account and claim to be an employee of any company? They don’t do email verification to make you prove employment do they?

They do if you want it to be “verified” (at least at bigger places) but I don’t know about smaller places or how people even check that.
