A guy with a very thick accent (sounds like India) who was very hard to understand called saying he had a job opening to fill for GM in my area. The company is ACRO Service Corporation which appears to have a web presence that looks legit. However, he is insisting that I send him my SSN (after giving him my DOB) saying that GM requires it. I have registered on the GM career site and they do not ask for your SSN. It sounds like a scam. Anyone else had experience with this company? Anybody working for them?
I just got a call from this number very much like the above poster. He called me by my first name. He had a heavy Indian accent and said he had a 5-month temporary position available in Trenton. Trenton is about an hour drive from here, so I declined. I keep a detailed log of jobs I've applied for, and I have never applied with a company named ACRO. Going to do a complaint with donotcall.gov.
I received a call as well and he left a message. I could barely make out what the guy was saying due to his heavy Indian accent. I managed to get the name of the company he was calling about and I have heard of said company before. To be sure I went directly to the company website to check to see if the job he was calling about was available. To confirm my suspicions I found out the job was NOT available. Why wouldn't the company have called me directly? This is why I always double check with the actual company before proceeding any further.
I have had 5 calls in the last 2 days from this company (5 different numbers). Same thing, something about a job opportunity for GE Healthcare. I have asked them each time to stop calling me and remove my number. They don't speak English well and apparently don't understand it either.
