Amanda, Light of My Life, They Should Have Made You a Job Scammer’s Wife

This is what happens when an employment fraudster tries to recruit an anti-fraud identity professional. 

Not that she/he/they necessarily knows what I do. The message just refers to my “background information” and “the position” and “the company.”

Seems legit.

“Amanda.” https://www.linkedin.com/in/amanda-rodriguez-155a17378

Here’s the message.

“I am currently working as a Temporary Recruiting Assistant, assisting the company in finding a suitable candidate to fill an open position.

“After reading your background information, I believe that you have the experience and abilities that are highly qualified for this position.

“If you are interested in this opportunity, you are more than welcome to get back to me and I will be happy to provide you with more information about the position.

“Thank you for your time and look forward to your reply!

“Amanda Rodriguez

I don’t know Spencer Stuart but they presumably wouldn’t hire a clown like this, even in a temporary capacity.

Here’s my reply, but the account disappeared before I could send it.

“If you are truly targeting anti-fraud identity verification product marketing professionals, your pitch itself sounds like it was written by a scammer fraudster. Even in his current condition, Kevin Mitnick wouldn’t fall for this scam.”

Know your recruiter!
