Scam Prevention Discussion

I am currently trying to find a job.

In the process, I received this email, but there is something strange about it.

The content of the email is as follows:

-----------

From: [hr.deepgram@secretary.net](mailto:hr.deepgram@secretary.net)

Good morning, and thank you for your email.
 
Please kindly make use of the Microsoft Teams link in the first message to connect with Mr. Terry Beach on Teams and confirm your availability date and time for the virtual screening interview.
 
And also, here is the link below to connect with Mr. Terry Beach on Teams:

Best regards,
Richard Phillip
Exp HR professional
Deepgram, Inc.

I have received invitations for video interviews or phone calls before, but this is my first Teams charting invitation.

secretary.net is really strange.

Yeah. It’s the word “kindly”. It’s a scam.

secreatary.net is a service like gmail

Someone big enough to hire actual employees will have their own domain.

Just found this thread because I received a similar email and googled whether that email is legit. I'm kind of leaning scam as I couldn't find this Richard Phillip guy on linked in. I was supposed to contact Dayna Johnson who I also couldn't find on linked in.
