Subject: Urgent: Data Breach and Scam Alert - Immediate Action Required

Dear BlueRock Therapeutics and LinkedIn Teams,

I'm writing to bring to your attention a critical and urgent matter regarding a data breach and attempted scam I experienced on April 9, 2025. A scammer impersonated Michael Conway from BlueRock's HR department, contacting me via phone and email about a fake job offer.

Incident Details

1. Fake job offer: The scammer sent a convincing job offer with benefits and payment details.

2. Fake e-check: I received a fraudulent e-check for $3400.00.

Concerns and Questions

1. Lack of transparency: Why didn't BlueRock Therapeutics publicly warn potential victims despite being aware of the scam?

2. Data breach: How did the scammers access my LinkedIn profile and obtain my personal data?

Demands for Immediate Action

1. Investigate and address security vulnerabilities: Take immediate action to prevent further incidents.

2. Public warning: Issue a public warning about the scam to protect potential victims.

3. Strengthen data protection policies: Review and enhance data protection policies to prevent similar incidents.

Conclusion

This incident highlights significant concerns about data security and transparency. I expect prompt action from both companies to address these issues.

Sincerely,

**********

I have no idea what Bonanza is and have not sent out any resumes, online or otherwise in over 10 years. I don’t know what they are looking to get out of me, but it is not legit.

Applied for a job, put In personal information for paycheck deposit, W-2 form. The also asked me to download an app. Something just felt off so I contacted 2 friends and one person gave me this link to say someone else has been scammed. He said in todays email " First, please note that all ongoing communications will be conducted via Telegram Messenger. You can download the Telegram app by following this [link](https://telegram.org/apps). Please install the app from the Apple Store or Google Play, depending on your device. Once installed, kindly share your registered phone number with me so that I can add you to our communication channels." I did some research and the phone listed on the company's email is a number to someone living in North Carolina.

I couldn’t believe all i did was ask for something to use for a w2 or proof of payment because i was also trying to get a new car and I explained I needed that paperwork they refused to give me my money or documentation and i have all of it in texts where i explained i couldn’t come in i was going through a *********** and was fired while trying to get a car and i was never paid the remainder of my own money then i was told i was no longer needed and was pushed out of the way i was up front and clear with what i needed but that wasn’t enough because my boss said he WOULD NOT give it to me because HE could get into trouble it was horrible i never wanna be treated like that again i was treated like i was the problem when all i did was my job and i just wanted proof its shady as **** i told them that but they still REFUSED to give me anything..

I was contacted by [email protected] about a job. She informed me that my resume needed to be ATS approved. I clicked the link and signed up for resume service. it seemed legit. Only $2.95. However Wells Fargo informed me it could be a scam so i blocked the charge and cancelled membership. The lady then emailed me and said that the resume didn't work. I told her I reported as a scam.

I received a private message on LinkedIn to email my resume to what seemed to be a recruiter from Marsh McLennan. After a day I received an offer for the position of Data Entry Specialist in a part time role. No interview took place, I didn't speak to anyone over the phone, and then the recruiter told me they could send me funds for training and equipment if I provided credit card information. I asked to speak with them on the phone to explain, but they told me they were hard of hearing. I then asked to speak with the management staff of the department I'd be working under to ask questions and help put my mind at ease. I never received a response. I then went to the company's LinkedIn page and messaged the Regional Recruitment Manager for the Florida area. Her about section matched identically with the recruiter I was first speaking with. Then shortly after messaging me back that the recruiter is legitimate, her about section changed. This was setting off a bunch of red flags so I looked more into this and found a post online of someone else who had been offered the exact same position a week before. Commenters on the post stated they used tools to find that the domain of the email being used was only created a day before the poster had been emailed their offer. That was what solidified in my head that this was a scam. I reported and blocked both the initial recruiter and the recruitment manager on LinkedIn. Their email and phone number was also blocked. Immediately after I came here to report the scam.
