This was sent by a Hailey William from a Gmail account. After a couple of back and forth emails confirming my interest I was instructed to make a Skype account and to contact HR.BakerMckenzie, a Gloria Santona (who until last year was Counsel in the Chicago office of Baker Mckenzie)

After interviewing with "Gloria" I was informed a decision should be made in about 20 mins. I was hired with a 71%score.

Of course this was all too good to be true. She wanted me to open a new checking account with a local bank for my direct deposit, letting me know accounting would have full access to it at first. I was also instructed to buy a $50 iTunes gift card to purchase the apps for my company laptop. I was to do this to prove the "zeal" I had for the company. This was in my job offer letter.

I am filing this before letting them know I am onto their scam.

Thank you. I got an email as well. I figured it may be a scam. Not many companies are emailing people out the blue like that seeking employees.

Job Offer

Email told me to set up Skype and type in my code to the interviewer. After a series of questions I was told HR would let me know in 20 minutes. I got suspicious since the first email said $35/hour and the very next one said $40/hour which is too high for customer service. I went to the website to see jobs available and found no such jobs.

Scammers Require Gift Card as Show of Commitment to "Hiring Action"

Individuals claiming to be from BakerMckenzie law fir sent emails and letters confirming that Devon Weaver had been hired by the firm. a person impersonating Blaire Cahn conducted a Skype interview with Ms Weaver. The perpetrators promised that the firm would deliver a MacBook Pro laptop and a new iPhone for business use, and that technicians would show up at Ms Weaver's apartment to set up the business tools and install time-tracking software. The perpetrators requested a $200 gift card as a show of commitment to the company and as reimbursement to the vendors setting up the equipment.

A second individual, claiming to be David Jamieson from BakerMckenzie's HR department sent an attachment letter claiming to confirm the hiring action.

Both Blaire Cahn and David Jamieson are actually employees at BakerMckenzie, although both are partners and do not work in HR.

Both used scam emailaddesses ending with "[email protected].

To my knowledge no gift card was sent. Nor was any equipment delivered nor installed.

These scammers cleverly use names of actual bakermckenzie officers, with the slightly modified email addresses that could pass an unsuspecting victims casual and hopeful perception.

I tried to submit a complaint to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (ic3.gov); the form demanded the name of a bank involved - there was no bank, only a request for a gift card.

Work at home SCAM

I'd have to mimic Maria in Jan 20, 2022 because that is EXACTLY what I experienced and received. I had the same contact and same verbiage on the chat. I was even sent an offer letter from them and a Task the next day. Gladly no bank information or social sec # was given. Phew! I had actually got really happy I had FINALLY got a job but new something about it was too good to be true.

Cyber Phishing

I received an email from a certain Helen Bradley, sending an Employment consideration offering a notably high salary. Everything was too good to be true. Even stated to send out office equipments for me to get ready with the job if hired. There was an offer to proceed with the application via Telegram and Hangout. Suspiciously, everything was just via chat, and it uses Gmail, not the company's own domain.

Employment

I received an email coming from “Helen Bradley” telling me that it is about an Employment Consideration from Baker McKenzie. The hourly rate was way too high and that I will be provided with the office equipment and all that. I was asked to proceed with my interview via telegram or hang out. I was very skeptical about it, since it was too good to be true.

I got the same email from Hailey Williams and [email protected] and [email protected] I found it really strange that a company paying that much money would have a Gmail or yahoo account and not there own domain and that I was asked to Download a random app to speak to a random person. This time they are using this Telegram app.

Was coerced by a representative of Bakers McKenzie for an online interview for a data entry at home position with high pay.

Representative was very pushy and stated things like "Understood" "Can you handle that?"

Representative wanted me to purchase a steam wallet gift card. I didn't go further than this. It sounded fishy and I found the same exact type of thing on ScamPulse.com scam alert.

I googled part of the email because the salary was way to high and it was too good to be true, I didn't open anything attached to the email. Once I saw it was a scam I decided to report it , looking for employment is stressful enough add a money scam to the situation it is just wrong.
