At first I was shocked. I jumped out of bed and looked over it for some time but something struck me as very odd. I had just spent the entire day, 2 days ago, watching youtubers prank scammers on the phone and among these youtube channels was "B.B.B. Wisconsin" so I became even more skeptical and decided to analyze the email further. A few things caught my eye during my own investigation and i'll go over them here.
The first thing that caught my eye was the Google Hangouts and the idea that this was something *introduced by the BBB*. I was not aware that ScamPulse.com did such things so I went over to the ScamPulse.com website to see if I would be able to find information regarding this *online screening*. Sure enough, I did not. Red Flag#1
The second is the very first line of the email: As regards to your resume that... I'm pretty sure this is grammatically incorrect and gives very unprofessional vibes. Red Flag#2.
Third thing is that the email went on to say, "I want you to setup a Google Hangout..." and "and IM him on this Hangout ID ([email protected]) ". This should imply that the person who is emailing me ? the person whom I should be contacting for this interview, however viewing sender details reveals that the email was sent by: [email protected]. Red Flag#3
Lastly I was referred to by Candidate as opposed to my actual name.
Further investigating the ScamPulse.com website I browsed employment scams and saw reported scams using very similar words and use of google hangouts.
