I did all of this…

I just received your files. I have already sent this to our security team, it will take some time to check.

Now you need to add your personal curator on Skype. We use Skype for communication, because it is much more convenient than email. Find your personal curator using Skype ID - live:.cid.c796ccfe57cc17c3 (or use the link https://join.skype.com/invite/kzgIM9qaigzr). You can do it now, she will be waiting for your message!

You will be informed to you when your files are checked and approved by the security service. Have a wonderful day!

I began Skyping directly with someone daily for assignment.

I have screenshots of those exchanges.

The final conclusion came from a request in those threads.

I'm sorry, put r'm naving troupie understanding the task. Could you please clarify?

Now I explain you everything in details. You need to provide me your bank account details (account number and routing). If you do not want to provide your personal bank account information, then you can open a new one in one of the major US banks. Once we have your details, we'll send the dividend payments to your account. After that, you need to receive the money in cash and make a payment to our investor. An investor accepts money in various ways. I will provide you with detailed instructions for processing each payment in a timely manner. In addition, with each such transaction, you will receive a reward in the amount of 5% of the amount of dividend payment. For example, if an investor orders a payment of $ 2,000, you will receive $ 100 a day for servicing this transaction when you complete the transaction. That is instantly! Please tell me, are you ready to complete this task?

First, I had gotten a txt message from 929-502-7116, While I have been applying for many jobs in the past month, I know I have never applied to this company. They have used my preferred name as well - which I found weird and caused me to almost second-guess myself. Thankfully I am skeptical enough so I went back and checked all my applications to be sure I hadn't applied to this company. I was correct. in the txt message the ~person~ went by the name 'Ali' from HR. The entire message read "Hello N/A! I'm Ali, HR with Solve-NY, and we a received your resume! Does tomorrow 12 pm work for you to do a Zoom job preview?" A second message then followed saying I can schedule my zoom with some random link given - I ignored. The nxt day I missed a call from 212-830-9361 a minute later I got the same message and a resending of a link to supposedly schedule a Zoom interview.

It was fake job offer

- Newark, NJ, USA • Mar 20, 2024

I was contacted through email and text message about an interview with a company called Solve-NY, there were LinkedIn job descriptions for at least two opportunities at this "company". I did not remember applying to either, but I have filled out so many job applications at this point that I was just excited to have an opportunity for employment.

I attended the first Zoom meeting with a person named Aiden, who had an Australian accent and described his background as in finance. He talked in vague terms about the company for about ten minutes and then the call ended. I was contacted again via text and email setting up an interview for the following morning, and then radio silence. No response to email, text, phone call, nothing.

I'm not sure what the scam is, but the unresponsiveness and inability to be contacted struck me as fraudulent.
