Victim Location 97006
Type of a scam Employment
Got accepted for a “Quality Control Inspector" position supposedly affiliated with Amazon. I didn’t get far in the process before a lot fo red flags started coming up (low quality phone interview, inconsistant company names, odd document formats for contracts, comapny not easily googled, ScamPulse.com showed company as Not Rated, etc.). Didn’t apply for this company, but applied for a Mail Assitant job under a different company on ziprecruiter which they sited as the source of my resume in the acceptance email. (Also just got notified of a job posting with the same exact description under another company on glassdoor).
Caution: They will start by asking for public info, but will try to gather banking info during direct deposit setup. If you don’t they won’t push. However, others who have dealt with this same scenario say the scammers will follow-up with training or program costs of $2,400. If you agreed for your check by mail it’ll mysteriously disappear or they’ll ghost you once they get the training money.
