My wife was contacted via a phone call. She didn't answer and was sent an email saying he left a voicemail to discuss the "role we have for our client working remotely". The description of the job is very vague while trying to seem specific. From what I surmise its a glorified grammar check on email campaigns. However it uses weird terminology that legitimate businesses wouldn't use professionally to communicate: such as using "grooming" to describe part of the process on spell checking emails and "assign simpler, straightforward cases to contractors that require little interpretation, cultural nuance, slang etc". I've never heard descriptions like this to describe corporate email campaigns. It does sound like however scanning email campaigns to better fit scam targets so they aren't alerted its a scam when reading non fluent english emails.

I've also checked the company's linked in profile, it's oldest post is 3 months ago. The Mavinsys website makes the company seem large though linkedin shows 50 people at max and the handful on their linkedin as employees are all talent acquisition and similar roles. Most of said employees are all based in india when the company is supposedly in NYC.

As for the Mavinsys website itself, initially it looks legitimate. However everything it states is vague. Services, about, etc are all vague. If you can find the deeper layers of the site you can see just how shallow the site is. It's projects pages don't show anything other than some stock images that mean nothing.

My wife has been applying for jobs for a couple of months. Even when a legitimate recruiter reaches out its only ever individually one service: either phone, email, or linked in. Never has she received communication from all 3 before she's had a chance to reply.

I've seen videos describing how scams set up abroad will get legitimate addresses to establish a shell company to appear legitimate and then hire unknowing accomplices for jobs that only pertain to individual aspects of a scam. In this case I believe they are targeting people who have allowed linkedin to share the "opentowork" status to unwittingly take part in email scams. In my wife's case she'd probably "groom" (to use their words) email campaigns to sound less foreign or more specifically my wife being Hispanic would be asked to make the email more receptive to the Hispanic receiver.

I did not answer the questions in the email body. I told Ann that I was only interested in remote work from home positions, did she have any meeting those requirements. Honestly, I don't think that I ever got a straight answer in regards to that question. Attached to the email previously sent was a very simple box like form to enter the following information: my first middle and last names, current address, mobile phone #, choice of position, & education. I did provide them with this information.

Then I received the following, "I am thrilled to receive your acceptance of our job offer.

And an agreement to sign and return as well.

Okay, so the website says that they are this cohesive consulting group with IT, call center, and several other services. If this were true, they would have had me create an account, submit my resume there, done an actual interview via phone or a video interviewing process, when offered the job, i would first have to sign the documents with adobe online not by printing a taking a photo and emailing, I would upload my id to secure website not email it to Ann Williams. The website I was sent to was so generic and a html...is that even possible?? Oh, and paying $20-25 an hour for 30 days of probationary training? $27/hr with vacation benefits?
