Scam Description
Approached by phone number by a lady named Lara Collins from 14th floor from 30 Broad Street who wanted me to come in for an interview on March 20, 2024. Apparently pay 80 dollars upfront for a food handlers license if accepted for the job and to have all documents ready. Emailed me at 30broadstreet14thfloor@gmail.com
with some fake confirmation for interview. Searched the web a little and found out it happened recently on January as well. They told me to show up at 10:30 am.
Full Email They Sent on Confirmation:
From: Lara Collins
