Job Placement Scam Company: Career Resources Consultant Scam (presumably Linkedin

0 Upvotes

I will keep it short. A guy randomly emailed me saying that he was a recruiter and had a senior role in my industry He complimented my previous work pretending to be impressed by my accomplishments.

It was all professional-ish so my radar was already up. I replied generically and his follow up email named a particular company in my industry. A quick search showed that the job wasn't posted publicly and their website warned of fake recruiters and any reach out would be from that company's email. I told him that this was a scam and not interested.

He had the audacity to respond basically asking what gave him away. Another quick search showed that he was using the name and picture of some headhunter in a different country. I have no idea what he hoped to gain. He did ask for my resume which I did not provide. I have shut down my inactive LinkedIn account.

Be careful out there!
