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.

Contacted me through email, text, and calls. They are spoofing numbers and using that to offer me a job that pays well below minimum wage.

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.

I was offered a job through Linked In. It sounded too good to be true. Later on, I was contacted per email and then called by someone from the number on the TQ Check website. The person spoke with a heavy foreign accent. I was sent an email with an application form and a request to send a copy of my drivers license, SSN and other personal information to them.

So, I googled the company and found a Reddit post saying that others had been scammed by them.
