SCAM – Do not click the link or enter personal information!!
Got a call yesterday from a man of Indian descent, very thick accent, who stated he was a recruiter and was in search of a position that is in my background. He had my name, number, and email. (Which is not uncommon for recruiters to obtain this information from Monster or other sites) The call came from the number 777-100-2636.
But was odd was he was very pushy that once he sends me an email I respond with my updated resume and click the link. I told him it would be evening before I was able to. The job itself sounded a bit too good to be true – the salary expectations were slightly higher than I would expect. (If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is) Anyway when I get the email it went to my spam folder and upon opening Gmail immediately said that the email was associated with phishing scams and identify theft.
He called me back this morning from this number 732-898-1854, and I told him I felt like it was a scam and he got extremely confused. Almost like his English is not good enough to respond, he is to stick to a script. I hung up on him. Glad I went with my gut after reading these!
