I received a text message from Unipart Group via text and was told that Melissa Hurley was a recruiter reaching out about a job opportunity in response to my resume on Indeed. I responded that I would be interested in an interview. I was then sent a subsequent text message stating there would be a screening interview through Microsoft Teams. I wa a given contact information for Ryan Enzo. There was a series of interview questions I answered but the font that was sent in Teams differed from each other and I started to have suspicions. They asked if I had experience with the programs they’d be using and I didn’t have extensive experience. In spite of this, they told me I was hired over the Teams messaging. They also probed for personal information about my wireless carrier, the bank I used, and if I had a personal credit card and what the limit was in the middle of the interview questions. I said that I didn’t feel comfortable sharing that information nor did I feel it was pertinent to this interview. I also told the contact that I thought this felt like a phishing attempt and was given two paragraphs explaining how this was a legitimate business. I saw a similar report from Linked In that seemed like the same scenario that occurred from this company. The Unipart website is also very ambiguous and seems to have a lot of vernacular surrounding netzero emissions but it’s still unclear what they supposedly do

I believe this was a phishing scam. I have been applying for work through Indeed and I never applied for this particular company. I received 2 random text messages back to back that read:

When I looked into what this company was I found out that it is a company overseas in the UK, and I couldn't even find a job posting on Indeed for this.

I got a text message from “Nicole” +1 906-646-2173 asking if I was still interested in a position that I had applied for at Unipart Group. She said I had been selected for an online screening via Whatsapp where I would talk to the Hiring Manager named Nathaniel Scott (+1 716-703-0455). I also got a text message from “Lewis Brown” +1 734-275-0494 congratulating me on the position.

I messaged Nathaniel Scott and he asked for my name, age and where I live. He then told me about the company Unipart Group.

He said they were going to send me a check to pay for work equipment as a "sign of trust" instead of sending me the equipment itself.

He sent the "check" through FedEx. It had shipped out from Irvine, CA. He said they shipped it out from one of the US offices since he is in the UK. It was sent to me Tuesday and got to me Wednesday morning.

There was a letter with the check saying to email Mrs. Sarah Bryson at [email protected].

The check itself had the company name as "Sedgwick Claims Management Services inc" and the address for the company was "5700 Lombardo Center Rock Run North Seven Hills,oh 44131". The check was for $7,500 USD and was signed by Bob H. (I couldn't read out the last name). I did not deposit the check.

After receiving the check I decided to mess with the scammer and waste his time. He said to go ahead and go to the bank to deposit the check and to send him a confirmation email once it was deposited. I said I could deposit it through my banks mobile app. While he was waiting, I photoshopped a fake confirmation message. Once I sent him the fake message, he said it was now time to purchase the WFH equipment through the vendor who only took payment through Zelle and Apple Pay. He asked if I had either one of those and I replied no. He then asked if I could install Zelle and create and account which I replied with I don't have storage on my phone. He then said I need to do a cash mailing. He told me to go to the bank and make a withdraw of $7,100 (out of the $7,500 sent to me). I then needed to put the money in a book or novel and wrap it in jeans and take to FedEx. When I told him I would not be able to go to the bank, he asked to do an account transfer.

I agreed to do the account transfer and managed to get his bank, account number, routing number and name on the bank account. I went ahead and called the bank but unfortunately the only thing they were able to do was verify the routing number (it's valid). I have also been in contact with my local PD.

He had used 2 different phone numbers on his Whatsapp account: the one I said above and +1 716-703-0443.
