I was contacted via e-mail by mailto:[email protected] telling me that my resume had been approved for an online interview. I was asked to add contact to skype or google hangouts for a job interview the following morning. I did and the interview was pretty much run of the mill. I was told the company was looking to establish an office in California but they were currently operating out of Anchorage Alaska. In the end I was offered the position for data entry paying 45.00 dollars an hour and 21.00 dollars for training. I was told they would be mailing me a check to purchase the software I was going to utilize but to wait for instructions on the vendor’s name. It sounded fishy to say the least. I played the game and once the interview was completed, I began a search of the internet and found that this scam has been going on with different company names ( the previous name that it was used was Servier Group instead of the correct name "Servier Pharmaceutical Company". Needless to say, I will not be communicating with this scamer. Be careful when being approach for a job that sounds too good to be true!

Here is the email that I received supposedly from this employer. I engaged in an online "interview" today and they claimed to have found me on ZipRecruiter. All the classic red flags were observed. Request for information that would have been readily available if they actually had access to my resume or ZipRecruiter profile, unrealistic salary and benefit package, extreme evasiveness when I asked about meeting in person and at least one request for the name of my bank and also an indication that I would only be meeting with my supervisor for training after they contacted me by email or phone to complete my "working papers". I can only assume that this information would have included my SS number and a bank account. I gave them nothing, just seemed to have gotten more information from them than they gave me. They also indicated that although the company headquarters were in Barcelona they would soon be opening offices in PA (in about a month) but could not be more specific as to where. I would think that they would know where they would be located by now. Work from home, online assignments, yada, yada, yada. I called their bluff and pulled the plug on the conversation after I had gathered what I needed. They said their current office in the USA is located at 310 K Street, Suite 200, Ankorage, Alaska 99501. This location is a virtual office and there is no listing for Ferrer there. I looked up Ferrer on ZIpRecruiter, no results found for jobs. They have a profile on LinkedIn but no jobs posted, not even in Spain. There is a website for Ferrer Pharmaceutical but at this point who knows if that is even real. I got a virus infection alert message after I logged off of the chat and now I am receive pop ups from tityx.com. Resolving erectile dysfunction, etc. I’ll get my laptop cleaned.
I can’t seem to forward the chat from Google Hangouts but if you need any other information from me please feel free to contact me.
Happy hunting. Get them good, please, if you can.
