Interview with a Scampire
In this session, I will walk you through my interview with "David Jeffries" with Agile Therapeutics, a biotech company offering a remote data analyst role. We settled on a salary, discussed health benefits, and I even negotiated extra vacation days for myself.
The only problem? David doesn't exist and neither does the job. David is a scammer impersonating a hiring manager, and if you have applied for jobs online lately, you may have run across this scam. We will discuss the ways scammers find us, the scammer's playbook and the warning signs to look out for, where companies like Microsoft and Zelle can do better to protect the innocent job seeker, and the motivations of the scammers.
The aftermath of the story? I managed to get Zelle to shut down one of their money mule accounts, but unfortunately, his teams account and his fake domain are still up and running.
