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.

The person by the name of Caroline Mora stated they wanted me to call you. She didn't say the Business name, only stated it was union job, remote, and it does business for verify benefits for polices officers, and other people of power. Then stated its administrative work, which benefits is not administrative that's office. She then asked me if I was looking for work, or if I already have a job. I stated I have an offer but depending on how long it takes I will look for something in between. She then asked the name of the company which was a red flag. I informed her I wasn't comfortable with telling her this information. She the asked me my work experience and I asked if she has my resume because I would assur if you call someone you would know my last experience, including my background for the job. I informed this person my two last experiences and that was it. She finally asked if I still lived in Brooklyn, which once again is strange because I thought you didn't have my resume my phone number, address, my email. I believe this was odd and sparked major red flags. She stated she will send me a zoom link, but none was given. She now has my email, phone, and address in which I don't know who she is working for. Also, information she was attempting to gather. When I typed her number in the search engine, it only pops up as a centerstagemusic516.com

This site is fishy and so I the number 516-557-9478

The scammer reached out via email to inquire about a job application that I filled out. They used the company name for a position that I actually did apply for. They requested that I do some screening questions/interview questions and submit them back. A few days later, they stated that my questions were pushed through to the hiring board and I was chosen for the position. They typed up an offer email, along with an hourly pay which was an extremely high value and then requested some sensitive information. Right off the bat I felt weird so I researched the company website directly, got in contact with someone and they confirmed that this person was not a recruiter in charge of any of their job applications.

Received an email from a Kayla Benedict about a proofreader job. She said she found me via LinkedIn and Indeed and advised me to contact Katie Jones for more information. I contacted Katie Jones who sent me more information, including a legitimate looking job posting with a too-good-to-be-true pay rate of $45/hr. The emails had no grammatical errors but seemed AI-generated. The email addresses seemed legitimate as did the company, The N2 Company. What really alerted me to this being a scam was an offer to “arrange an online screening interview facilitated by the Better Business Bureau through Microsoft Teams.” Weird. Then they sent me the link to the “interview” on the spot at like 7 pm. The agenda included a timed questionnaire via text. At this point, I figured it was a scam.
