Description

Found the listing on ZipRecruiter, it has immediately been removed since then. It was under the company name Camp Run-A-Mutt, and advertised the position of "Data Entry Clerk". It was a 1-click apply, and the pop-up said to email them my resume at [email protected]. I proceeded to contact them and submit my resume, I was contacted 3 hours later by Richard.Primeglobal under the email [email protected], stating the following: "Hello and how are you doing today? Regarding your interest in the Job Post . Before we proceed you need to be verified with our Company. You need a verified IDme in order to complete the process. If you do not have an IDme before please go to www.id.me and create one with your email and password. After doing that then you will follow the company link below to complete the verification process. https://enroll.primeglobalcare.info/x1inc/. After that is done you will receive a confirmation message regarding the job, including all necessary information." This was followed by another email within the chain sent from a new person named Karen King under the email [email protected] stating the following: "Dear Applicant, We received your application for our Data Entry Clerk job position, and we feel your background would be a good match with our company. We are in the middle of processing applications and currently have seven other applications along with yours that we are considering, so you can think of yourself on the shortlist to be hired. Please note that our company requires all potential employees to have a credit score on file for your interview. We ask for this because you will have access to company credit cards for business expenses. We request that each potential employee complete this as this ensures that our future employee is credible, trustworthy, and can be an asset to the company. Please also note that because of the new economy, we take into consideration that there may be some blemishes on a large portion of applicant scores. Rest assured that your credit scores themselves aren't significant, but our company still requires the report. Please complete and print your credit score by clicking: http://clickfreescore.peoplesready.org/ You will need to bring a copy with you to your interview. This credit score costs you and is entirely secure from the most trusted credit score website online. Please complete this first step ASAP as we only have 48 hours to set up interviews. When you have completed the credit score, reply to this email, and we will set a time for virtual interview. I look forward to meeting you. Thank you Karen King Hiring Manager Camp Run-A-Mutt" I, at this point, had already filled out the form within the primeglobalcare.info website, and should've listened to the warning signs that were tipping me further into finding this a scam. First, It required IDme, which is a service that is used to store sensitive information including all residency and verified identification documents. The website domain was also a red flag, and the fact that they requested the full names of my father and mother's name including maiden.
