I received an email saying they were a recruiter and my background would be good for a job they were hired to fill. They did not have an overview of the potential job and requested my resume. Once they received the resume they said it needs to be “ATS compatible formatting” and sent a link to complete this - ******************************/

There website did not have a phone number and she was not on LinkedIn.

I have resume out on several different recruiting websites. I was sent an email from 615-909-3652 (probably a burner phone) asking if I would like to work from home. I was invited to go to the link in my previous page to hook up into Microsoft Teams. I did so. A "John Ward" was my contact person and we sent messages back and forth for about 20 minutes. Then it became to good to be true - "Work from Home" "$37.09 and hour" "Full Benefits" etc....Ground breaking new opportunities, whatever. The only info I gave was my full name City, State and phone number. No banking info etc...

Received this by text message at 6:30 am: "Hello! I'm Paul Castor from Natec Sunergy B.V.

Found the company on LinkedIn and Glassdoor, but they're based in Europe/the Netherlands with senior positions posted in Germany. Internet searched the name and company and found this site with the exact same message details and a different phone number. Did not respond.

I was approached with a job offer for a remote Data Entry Clerk. I was reached out to by “Caitlin” for this position stating it was $27 an hour. They provided a website and an email to email my resume. I always look up the company website and google the email or number before sending an information to make sure everything looks legit. When doing so I saw two other reports of fake job offers for the same number with a different company and person. However, after looking up both websites they are identical, emails are identical with different company names, phone number is the same, and the positions they’re offering are identical. So I recommend not responding to that job offer with this number stated above. It’s clearly a scam unfortunately.

They sent an email giving a job paying $4800 bi weekly. Tried to get me to fill out payroll sheet and offered a fake letter. I looked them up on New York Secretary of State and the Business name is there but last filed in 1983. They even had a woman call me and look over offer and sign paperwork.

Greetings, ***** Mxxxx, I am Berlin Ferguson from Unity Technologies. Our recruitment team has reviewed your resume on Careerbuilder for Logistics Clerk (Remote) job worth 43.19/hr. Interested?

I replied yes. they replied:

the job briefing and interview process would be conducted online via messaging on Zoom app, are you familiar with Zoom?

i replied Yes

they then asked for the email address for the zoom account, so the recruiter could get in touch with me shortly. I downloaded zoom app on my phone and the Berlin sent a request to chat. which i accepted. i asked of more job details, and they said I would be briefed during the interview process. i connected with this person on zoom.

they gave a website during the chat, (http:www.unitytechnologiesinc.com/)

asked my full name, sex. and location.said i would be working from home or anywhere of my choice. said i wouln't be working more than 40 hours a week, sent a description of benefits and pay. also sent a detailed job description. went further to explain the trainer would be attached to me online and would assign logs of duty daily using microsoft office tools and the accounting software. Training would last one week online on my pc and phone. equipment would be provided. this person sent a list of questions. nothing too personal. generic interiew questions. they asked if a had a printer copier and scanner, and if i have ever served in the military. asked me if i could be trusted with handling company funds. the last thing once i submitted my answers, was to remain online they would get back to me briefly after submitting my answers to the Head Dept for an automated review to enable them to see if I am qualified

I am searching for a mid- to upper-management job in the Adult Learning field (akin to a Training Manager or Learning & Development Manager) and put my resume on various job search boards. The other day, I received an email from "Kate Hoback," a person claiming to be an Executive sourcer with an established recruitment agency, requesting a copy of my resume (for a Chief Learning Officer role with a small "anonymous" startup). I checked the website associated with her email domain, and it looked legitimate, so I responded with a .pdf version of my already public resume. No red flags for me yet, as I have worked with several organizations that had similar non-disclosure agreements and who also had open senior executive and c-suite positions available. She replied to my email, saying that I needed to update the file to an "ATS-Compliant" format, in order to best be positively screened by the company's AI. She suggested I go to https://cmsresumespro.com to convert my document. I looked up "ATS-compliant resume" and saw that, indeed, it is one of many desirable resume formats sought by some employers. The website, however, charges for their services. I found several other websites that offer format conversion for free, so chose one of their templates, converted my resume and sent it to her as a Google doc, a MS Word doc and a .pdf doc. To this, she replied that it still did not work and pushed me again to the resume conversion website, saying that I needed to urgently reply before the opportunity evaporated. Finally the bells and whistles started going off for me, so I researched a little more and found the scam. The website associated with her email domain is a cloned page and has no links deeper than one or two clicks. Her name is listed on several alert pages as being a fictitious alias for phishing and identity theft (if you go to the resume building site and enter in any credit card info, you're assuredly sunk). Needless to say, I "withdrew my candidacy" for the CLO spot and am now putting my experience out into the universe as a warning to others! - Claudia

I was contacted by email by [email protected]. She gave me an interview screening document with 15 questions and asked me to complete it urgently. Then after I sent it back in 2 days she and said that I made need to do an additional online interview or I made get the job without an interview. In 2 days she emailed to say I got the job and asked for my name, email, home address and phone number to write the offer letter. I then got the offer letter and job description. She told me that Alex Proano would contact me. His email address is [email protected]. He told me would help me to set up my workspace. He asked for my financial institution. Next day he sent me a check of $4,012.59 via email and asked me to upload and send him a screen shot. When I told him I couldn’t do it he never responded. The company is located in MD and is listed as a legimate registered company on the state’s business registration website. The company had a job description for management consultant on LinkedIn but it has since been removed.

I was contacted by a person saying they're a recruiter and overly explaining that the opportunity will require an NDA and I should send my resume. Then I was told my resume was not ATS friendly and I was referred to cmsresumespro.com to convert my resume to ATS friendly format. I looked up a free resource, converted the resume and sent it. The next day, I was told it didn't work and I should really use the referred website so my resume can be referred to their client. This is a resume scam where they make you pay $17 for an editable resume. I responded that I was not interested in a recruiter or company that cannot read my simple word doc resume or a PDF and this sounds like a scam so do not contact me again. Came here to report this.

A recruiter sent me an interview and asked me to download an app (Ring Central) and had me complete an interview on the app, which seemed slightly bizarre for an interview from the beginning, such as stating what the meaning of certain words related to business such as "privacy" and "code of conduct" mean for a company, and also stating what tasks someone of the position I applied for (administrative assistant) would be completing. I was pressured to complete tasks within rigid time limits. I received a job offer, and subsequently required to complete another assessment despite already having completed a job which asked me to describe duties of the position. At this point I felt that I was being tasked to write a job description for a fake position. I was advised that I would be compensated for creating a home office. At this point I felt I was the target of a scam, searched the internet for similar experiences, and found that this is a common scam. At no time was I provided a direct phone number to the entity that contacted me.
