- end of second email -
I was immediately suspicious because they completely skipped the interview process. For a personal assistant you would definitely conduct an interview. While searching for more information on Hanson Wade or April Van, I came across a post on Safer Social Media on Facebook describing the same scenario however the company name was different. In their post they detailed the incident and the same verbiage was used in the emails and the same name (April Van) which took place in Jan. 2025. They flagged it as a scam.
The original job listing on Zip Recruiter is no longer available however there is another listing for Hanson Wade for a Sales Rep/Cust Service Rep using the same link to apply (hansonwade.breezy.hr).
I have not responded to the second email as I feel this is a scam.
