Here is the email that I received from Sarah Williams:

Hi,

Looking forward to your response!

I replied that I need her phone number, website, company name because of fraud. I did not send my resume. Have not heard back yet from her.

This was a work from home administrative support position. The responsibilities would include:

Receive and distribute mail to clients

Receive and distribute invoices to clients

Prepare and distribute correspondence

Answer email from clients directing them to the appropriate unit.

I was also told that I needed to download telegram messaging to complete the employment application. This is not the first time this type of job has been offered. I got caught up in a job similar to this, but I think it was a different name at the time. I got contacted by the Postmaster General about it being a scam.

I applied to their job posting through Indeed. The job offer did seem a bit too good to be true. They had a few people contact me via Email asking to fill out a W-9 and sign an Employee Agreement form. Unfortunately, they did receive my SSI number, home address, and my bank account information.

The website and LinkedIn of this company is their only online presence and they are not registered with the department of the state despite operating as an incorporation. I was contacted about an interview using very urgent language on a Sunday night at 7:00. I scheduled the interview for Monday at 11:30, and they confirmed at 10AM. When it was time for the meeting, they didn’t show up on Zoom so I left after five minutes. As soon as I left, I recieved a phone call from the CEO to conduct an interview via phone instead. He said that any questions about compensation or day-to-day were a second round interview topic. After I said I couldn’t give a definitive start date, he was no longer interested. The job listing on LinkedIn was also short and gave no real description of the duties of the Marketing Assistant job. An AI checker website said this job posting and almost everything on their website was written by AI.

Mom applied for a job from an Indeed recommendation. She went to the website and applied. The interview was over Microsoft teams PMing. They told her she got the job for $36.75 an hour and that they were gonna send her a laptop and printer and scanner for her job. Obvious scam after researching. Please remove this website.

The target first received a cold message by the scammer, using the username "Anna Silva" via internet messaging, baiting them to respond by simply asking "Hello, what is going on?". The target responded by asking a question of their own "Hello, who is this?". The scammer proceeds to thank the target for replying and offers them a job where the target could do 5 to 10 minutes of work a day, by just using their smartphone.

The target asks for more details about the company, receiving the name Cyntexx and the website https://www.cyntexx.com/ as a response. The scammer described the company as being a "digital marketing company", and state the reason for contact was them having the need for 5 to 10 people to staff a project.

Given the sparse information of the website, the mode of contract, and the nature of the job, the target believes that the scammer tries to phish information from potential targets, under the guise of offering them a job.

I received the email then researched the name of the company and saw one link. When I clicked the link, the page had an announcement stating "Suspended". I additionally attempted to find the name of the person who sent the email: Sarah Williams, to no avail.

The message content is almost exactly of the other person who reported the incident. Here it is:

I got the text. Looked it up, and found similar texts on Bbb.org. Reporting it for good measure. I did not reply to them or reach out to them, so I didn’t get to confirm if they asked for money or not.

The scammer used the name Edwin and contacted me about a position and told me to schedule an interview through Calendly. I asked what company they were affiliated with and received no further response. I believe they found my information while I was applying to jobs on Indeed, Glassdoor, or LinkedIn.
