Scam Description
Clear Gene Inc was a listing on Indeed.com, advertising a Remote Position for a Data Entry Clerk/Customer Service Representative/Administrative Assistant. The ad seemed very legitimate, asking any question that other jobs of the same caliber were, including salary.
I was contacted today 10/20/22 by text telling me to download an app called Telegram and communicate with someone named Mikayla Kudia, the HR Manager at Rosebud Biosciences.
Once communication began, red flags began to happen. Messages were appearing very quickly, some grammar issues, and some punctuation.
Looking further into the company Clear Gene, there is nothing beyond their sparse website and an empty LinkedIn account.
Then there were no ties to Rosebud Biosciences, which is a real company, anywhere I could find.
Finally, looking at Rosebud Biosciences website, their HR Department site says
“Scam alert: We are aware of an entity pretending to offer interviews at our company, currently via Telegram. Know that we only contact applicants via email from email addresses with the domain @rosebudbiosci.com.”
The scammer who goes by Mikayla Kudia was asking where I banked, full name, state, city, address, zip code, email address, and cell phone number.
When confronted about why there is little mention of Clear Gene Inc anywhere on the internet, Kudia replied with “Don’t worry about that.”
This is a scam company, a scam website, a scam LinkedIn, and a scam operation.
