Description

I applied for an online Ergonomics Specialist position with Appen USA. I immediately got an automated interview by email from [email protected]. On the day of the interview, just a couple hours beforehand, I was trying to research the company in preparation for the interview only to find their website was down with a 404 error message. I researched further as this seemed suspicious to me and learned that Appen USA, also known as Appen USA Talent, as reported by multiple other individuals, is a scam artist. I did not go through the interview after seeing compelling evidence on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Reddit as well as here on BBB that this is a scam. This scam artist now has my personal identifiable information through my resume and cover letter as well as my work history, and I am concerned that this information will be misused while my identity may be stolen. I am reporting this to join others in ensuring this scam artist is exposed and to help others avoid the same mistake.
