Scam Description

While applying to many jobs through LinkedIn, this Data Entry Clerk job came up. I applied through EasyApply on LinkedIn. I am uncertain if the resume I’m submitting went to them or not but I’m fairly certain they have some details about me as a person now, including my phone number. I received an email that was poorly worded. I replied hoping that it was just bad luck on their part but they replied with an even “phish”ier response claiming I needed to give them access to my credit score by going to some unrelated link. The correspondence was as follows:
“That’s GreaT but first. I may need to look at your background history/credit scores and this will also include your criminal records. Because the data and the other information we will provide you is costly, and the company cannot take any chances. Visit https://scoreonline.live/page26 ‘it doesn’t Cost don’t worry’ When you are done with the reports, please send me your reports screenshot + your resume and contact number in one mail please.”
