Description
I received an email thanking me for my easy apply application from LinkedIn. I received the email as I was actively applying for jobs on LinkedIn so I believed it to be authentic. The following day I received an email claiming that the original position had been filled but they wanted to interview me for another position and that I should click the Calendly link to schedule. They claimed they would tell me about the position and pay at the meeting. I didn't realize it was a scam and clicked the Calendly link and scheduled a meeting. Then I received a text with a link "confirming" my interview. At this time I googled the email address and phone number to make sure it wasn't a scam. The email address didn't show up anywhere but the phone number was linked to another scam on the BBB website.
