Description
I applied to an HR Assistant position for First HR Connect via LinkedIn. The recruiter (Veronica Pavlenko) emailed me a questionnaire, I even received a call from a John Conturso ("HR"), a TX phone number (972-638-0103). After hanging up with John, I did a bit of research. My initial hunch was that there was a misspell on the company's website. The recruiter and John Conturso were nowhere to be found on the company's website, and there was no business contact information for them (on emails). Furthermore, emails/communications came from [email protected] (and not .com). This might be used to hide a true identity. Be very careful as scammers are becoming more sophisticated.
