Scam Description
This is the second time this scam has been sent, by the same person. The first time I thought it was real, but realized it was a scam.
They tell you that you need to have your resume re-formatted to apply for a job that you are qualified for. You then get sent to a link:
https://atsresumesexp.com/ which actually does alter your resume (I personally didn’t like it or use it but something was done to it.
But then there is no job. Which, again, does happen. But when I received the same email saying that there was a role that I would be a good fit for, but I needed to reformat my resume, that is clearly when the scam became evident.
I actually stopped by the address of this supposed recruiter – it doesn’t exist.
Hello Andrew,
The role is aligned with your experience. Unfortunately, your resume does not parse correctly into the Candidate Management System. In order to move forward, I need your ATS compatible resume ASAP. You may contact https://atsresumesexp.com for ATS Compatible Resume.
For reasons of confidentiality and non-disclosure, I am not able to share any details of the position or company with you at this time. I will check my schedule and will contact you back to get started.
Best Regards,
Clay Martin
