Scam Description
I received an email from “bookkeeping@united-accounting.com” saying that they saw my resume on LinkedIn and they wanted to interview me. The person who contacted me used the name “Ilya Estrin”.
Red Flags:
1. I never applied or contacted them.
2. Spelling errors throughout the email (LINKEDIN, Best ‘Ragards’, etc)
3. They wanted to do the interview using Skype Messenger. I was told to add ‘Carlos Sigmon Hiring Manager’ to my contact list with this ID. live:.cid.f0fcacf0e8298aad
4. They’re paying way too much $32.75 (yeah, right!)
I’ve attached a screenshot of their email as well as a copied version in this box, in case the attachment doesn’t work. I never responded.
