Victim Location 44107
Type of a scam Phishing
I got a text message from a phone number with a Houston, TX area code:
// Hello..Your resume was received from Better Business Bureau job position as a Videographer & Photographer.. I’m ZÜSI NANNELI from "WESTPOINT PRODUCTIONS", a film production company based in Europe. We have a short film project coming up in your district. The start date is 25th-27th,JUNE 2020. and we are in need of your skills. Kindly confirm your skills, availability and i will get back to you with the full job details email to ([email protected]) Regards //
After my own research, I contacted the actual Westpoint Productions, based in Zurich, and learned that this is indeed a scam. The scammer used an actual business name, a verified email address (although not tied to Westpoint Productions) AND the ScamPulse.com to leverage their scam. I thankfully did not respond and will report the number as spam.
