Description

They pose as IT talent recruiters. They find your resume on job boards and contact you to interview you for a corporate company. In my case it was a position for HP. They send what looks like a legitimate job requirements/duites/and salary format document. They ask all the same questions as legitimate IT talent recruiters. After that they tell you everything is great but you need a scrum certification. A scrum certification class is 16 hours with an exam so I said no problem and signed up for a scrum class and sent an enrollment screenshot shot. I was immediately called by them stating that the training academy I chose would not be accepted by HP. They then sent me 2 links of accepted scrum training classes. I work in IT and was suspicious. If you clink on the link it looks like a legitimate website https://www.cprime.com/learning/courses/psm-certification-training-course/ However if you remove everything adter the .com you'll see that companies real website. The same was with https://upgradeskill.us/course/scrum-master-certified/ They are trying to get you to buy scrum certifications from their scam websites. I called Hewlett-Packard and they said that job opening was fake. DO not believe "Jay Gomez" phone number +16282080511. Or his email [email protected]
