Employment Solicitation - Phishing Scam Reports & Reviews (383)

- Brooklyn, NY, USA

A recruiter after several processes of what they call an interview, said my final step before starting my paid training, I have to sign an employer/employee agreement and scan it along with a picture of my driver’s license and email it to them, which I did. Then I had another final step, to fill out W-4, and send bank information via another scan and email. I am currently, involved or fell victim to two prior to this one… so before sending any more information, I did another due diligence research and found a similar case, not too recent as well. Not sure if I should continue or avoid the “interview process/pre-training) remote consultant job position for HVG International Consultant Group, Inc. Thanks for Reading.

The ‘recruiter’ said he had a job and requested my resume. He then said it needed to be in ATS format and sent me a link to a site to send my resume to for formatting. I paid $39 for it, and the quality was poor. I paid with credit card, so they now also have my billing address and credit card information. I found out after that this is a known scam. The website for the ATS formatting was https://atsresumesexp.com

After receiving the initial introductory email, I sent them my resume, not knowing it was a scam. They replied with the following email, which directs you to a questionable website that offers ATS resume services for a fee. Clearly a scam.
