Description

I recently received an email invitation for a job interview from someone called John West who claimed to be the HR Manager for a company called Park 85 Realty. It was for a position similar to ones I have been applying to recently. The interview was conducted entirely over Zoom, though oddly enough it was not a video call. The interviewer merely asked questions via the chat function, which I found a bit unusual. I have never had an interview be conducted in this manner prior to this experience. I was then sent a link to a job application on the Park 85 Realty website. However, it was asking for information such as my Social Security Number and Driver's License data, which tipped me off to the scam. Generally, you are not asked for this information by a potential employer until a job offer has been extended and accepted.
