Description

I received two separate emails from "Lisa Smith", this is the first: "I trust you are doing well! I’m reaching out because I recently came across an exciting job opportunity that I believe might be a great fit for your skills. A quality control agent position has opened up in Palatka, Florida, and I immediately thought of you as a potentially great fit. This role involves overseeing package inspections, managing shipments, and ensuring deliveries are timely and secure. The job offers a starting salary of $3,200/month, with the possibility of up to a 30% increase after three months, depending on performance. We also offer a comprehensive benefits package to all employees. If you’d like more information or have any questions, feel free to reach out. I'm happy to share more information with you. I look forward to hearing from you! Best regards, Lisa P.S. I couldn't help but notice that you and my husband have the same last name. What a coincidence!" I almost replied to the second email when I noticed the end of the first where she said her husband had my last name, but her last name is Smith (mine is not). Then on the second email she said her parents met in the city I live in. Too many attempts to get my response and seemed desperate, not to mention the position was remote and paid $3200/month plus 30% bonus.... Yeah right! She left no company name, no phone number, and no logos or websites, which was very suspicious. All this happened after I started applying on careerbuilder.com, which may be a coincidence but I had suspicious activity once before after using that site. Guess it's me being naive trying it again, but just thought I'd share this info so maybe it will help someone else.
