Scam Description
I received a text message from Sharma Davies indicating she is the Head Recruiter from Black & Decker Inc. Located my resume on Career Builder Job Board, I was provided HTTPS://teams.live.com/i/invite/FAAOubqP49X_GRbhwl , Verification code BND-160B.
This schedule a zoom meeting with Adam Kotsier, however in one of the messages, it mentioned the name of Ralph Doren. When asked who was Ralph, I replied, this name was in a previous text. I did provide my g-mail a/c information and was asked to open an outlook or Yahoo account. In the text it mentions Once you receive the funds from the Company, cash the check and order the material.
The Job Interview was all done thru Microsoft teams as a Chat, no live interview. When I told my wife about this, she became very suspicious, I closed the outlook e-mail address asked Adam to provide his direct phone number and e-mail address.
