"by fraudulently showing a message that looked like it was from you, asking for endorsement"

Citation needed.

I never saw a message like that

What I've seen is "Does Person knows about Technology/Skill" and then you can click to endorse that

Well, today I got one "fake" endorsement, not far from what I do, but not what I had added to my list of skills

The word "fraudulent" is excessive, but when a site asks me a very specific yes/no question like "Did Paul graduate from Stanford on June 6, 1999?," it feels like this is user-generated data rather than Linkedin-generated data.
