Description

My dad received a text message from “Anita Hughes” who claimed to be from Crux Informatics which stated that they had received his application for a data clerk position (work from home) and wanted to go forward with an interview. He has been applying for WFH jobs and didn’t remember applying for the position. He interviewed through a messaging app, and they wanted to do a second interview through the messaging app (never talked to anyone on the phone) but the interviewer stated his name was “Jayden Carter”. They said they wanted to move forward with employment, but that they were in a hurry and sent him an email which at first glance seems like it’s from the company’s website domain, but it’s missing the plural so instead of @cruxinformatics.com, it’s @cruxinformatic.com. The header to the offer of employment letter is not the company’s logo. They also sent a direct deposit form and asked for copy of passport. From there, they wanted to send him a check for him to order office supplies from their own vendor, when my dad asked why, they stated that it “helps establish a mutually trusting relationship between employee and employer.” He immediately cut off contact, called his bank/credit lines, signed up for credit monitoring, changed passwords and filed a police report. Called the actual company and they have no record of these people there. It’s a Scam. It’s not crux informatics, and the job isn’t real.
