Description
I received an email inviting me to interview for a position very similar to many that I have applied for recently. It had a job description and website attached and it came from the name John West under an HR email address. The email asked for times I could meet via Zoom and then asked to connect with me via Zoom so they could set up a meeting. After looking into the company more they had almost no online presence and what they did have was very suspect. No LinkedIn account, couldn't find any record of the person who allegedly was emailing me, and their website was very bare bones. Their facebook account only had posts about how they were "massively hiring" and the one account they were following was another presumably fake realty account with the exact same postings. I also looked back at all the jobs I applied to and found that this was not one of them, although the position was similar to what I have been applying for. They didn't ask for any personal information other than my Zoom email account to connect, but I assume that would have come later if I had gone through with the interview.
