Description

I was first approached by someone via text saying "My name is Melissa Grey from Randstad USA, I'd like to connect with you regarding a role we are hiring for. May I send you the position details?" After looking up the company I decided to say yes, because I have been looking for work and figured I'd just go at it casually in case it was a scam. They then had me confirm I was a US resident and at least 25. This was from (636) 493-4585. She then said her representative would reach out to me. Almost immediately another number reached out to me and asked if I was still interested and if I knew the company Car Gurus. I asked what the job would entail because I was skeptical and didn't want to waste my time. She then described CarGurus and said I would need to complete daily product promotion about 30-40 minutes per task, no sales or customer service. I then asked about income, which seemed too high for the limited work load and flexibility. She then offered free training. They then sent me to www.cargurusprime.com with an invitation code to register. I looked at the website and went to log in and the "terms and conditions" set off more alarm bells at which point I put the service email into a search engine and found it is associated with this scam.
