Description
As soon as I made my resume available on CalJobs, I received an email on the 18th from Brenton Hall ([email protected]) stating they went over my resume and said the they were "impressed with your background". He then went on to saying how much it paid ($30/hr) and asked me to confirm a reply if I was interested. I replied yes. I then went on CalJobs to verify he had looked at my resume and it said 0 views. I went on the website, which seemed legit, but, found no phone number to call. He then emailed me a confirmation email for my "Online Screening" through Microsoft Teams. He told me "It would be best if you could send a message today so that we can ensure you are all set for the interview tomorrow." I downloaded the app and assumed it would be a video conference at 9am the 19th. I emailed him 3 times to ask if he had received my request through Microsoft teams, no answer. I emailed him stating he was a scam. He jumped on at 9:15 and responded rude and we texted throughout the interview. He said that his HR department would be emailing with a yes or a no if I was to be hired. I received a email on Monday the 22nd from a [email protected] stating I had gotten the job and to fill out the form that has my personal information on it and email it to my supervisor, Brenton. I thought Brenton was a recruiter only not a supervisor. More red flags emerged when we started looking through Redditt and Indeed and BBB website for scam jobs. I did not send in the personal info application.
