Scam Description
I have been applying to remote jobs online. I received a text from someone who claimed to be “Barb Cronin” at Esteve Pharmaceutical asking me to speak to hiring manager Fred McElhone about my resume on Microsoft Teams. I contacted “Fred” through Microsoft Teams and he sent me the information about the position which included what looked like an official letter from the company stating job responsibilities. The letter had many grammar errors but I continued with the interview. He sent me interview questions in three sets. I replied to all of them. He replied that he spoke with the head of the department and offered me the job. He asked for my name, address, and phone number. I asked him for an official offer letter from the company or some sort of proof that this was a legitimate offer. He never responded.
