Type of a scam Employment
1. Initial Contact
While actively seeking employment, I came across a job posting on a well-known job board on LinkedIn. The position seemed to align perfectly with my skills and experience. Excited about the opportunity, I submitted my application.
2. Response and Communication
Shortly after applying, I received an email from my official portfolio website the supposed hiring manager known as (name used):
"Roxanne Sugar
Sincerely,
Roxanne Sugar, SHRM-CP| Alo, LLC
Human Resources Manager
9830 Wilshire Blvd Beverly Hills, CA, 90212"
Email: "[email protected]"
The email appeared professional and detailed the next steps, which included a series of online interviews through world-wide known "Skype." With a suggested Skype ID:
Skype ID used (#1): "live:.cid.7790bcfe9d84b7f7"
Skype ID used (#2) "live:.cid.9d7062016288e2c1"
And a written assessment. Throughout this process, communication was prompt and convincing, which further validated the legitimacy of the job.
3. Job Offer
Following the assessments, I was delighted to receive a job offer. The offer letter was comprehensive, outlining salary, benefits, and other details typically associated with a legitimate job offer. To finalize the hiring process, I was instructed to complete several onboarding tasks (like submitting a full randomized design to see how I could handle a project onboarding).
4. Suspicious Requests
One of the onboarding tasks involved setting up a home office. The company claimed they would provide reimbursement for the necessary equipment. They sent a check;
That was listed with the bank called:
"Old Plank Trail Community Bank N.A.
For: $2,300.00"
instructing me to deposit it and then use the funds to purchase the equipment from a specified vendor(s).
5. Red Flags and Reporting
Despite the convincing facade, I started noticing discrepancies, such as unusual email addresses, grammar errors, and a sense of urgency in their requests to deposit money in "certain vendors accounts." The biggest red flag was the request to deposit the check and then wire money to the vendor(s). Recognizing the potential for fraud, I immediately contacted my bank to hold the deposit and reported the incident to the job board where I found the posting, and the supposed company they were using the name under.
6. Outcome
Sadly, I hit some financial loss... The "user" took down the fraudulent posting. This experience has made me more vigilant and has underscored the importance of verifying the legitimacy of job offers, especially when they involve financial transactions.
