Beware Job Recruiting SCAM
I’ve had multiple reports of a scam where persons have used my identity to entice IT professionals into applying for positions they have no business recruiting for. The scammers later ask for a PayPal payment for their services. The authorities have been notified of this fraudulent activity.
I urge everyone to be vigilant with regards to social engineering scams like this. Beware of unsolicited emails from persons you don’t know personally. It’s is easy for unscrupulous individuals to glean much information from publicly available sources (job descriptions, professional profiles, etc.) and tailor a message customized for a particular job seeker.
