Once a candidate applies, they receive an email from "Nofel Izz" (CTO/CEO) or "Maya Laurent" (Senior HR Manager) stating they have been "shortlisted for Stage 2." To proceed to an interview, they must complete a "Global ID & Residency Check." The candidate is forced to choose between: Entering their credit card details for a "$1 digital identity validation hold" on the nextmatch.ai dashboard. In reality, this harvests the credit card data and automatically signs the victim up for unauthorized, monthly recurring charges. Uploading high-resolution scans of their Canadian Passport, National ID, utility bills, and transcripts to "[email protected]." This represents an extreme risk of identity theft and financial fraud. There are Online Warnings: Job seekers on Reddit have exposed that entering card details results in immediate, unauthorized premium charges.
