Reported cases
Pay to fix your CV scam I was approached by Cheryl Glas cherylglas740@gmail.com (this should have been my first clue) about a dream job. So she asks for my CV, then says it needs reworking, and for me to contact Nelson Kanayochukwu Didigwu on brandinganalystpro@gmail.com (my second clue) I was too excited by this particular role, and company that I didn't do enough checking. I pay $50 to get my CV polished, and then "Nelson" sends some AI rubbish and no sound from Cheryl. I know they /he/she will continue doing this, but at least someone will be warned about this. And they will have to rebrand.. There were several signs leading up to it, I didn't read into it. - Cheryl was very eager to get me to get my CV done, even messaging over the weekend (which I thought was very unprofessional) but I went ahead anyway. - once Nelson was connected on email, both of them kept on nagging me to get it done SOON. - but once I sent the cash, both are very silent. Please don't fall for this. Big scam. They prey on the desperation of people whore unemployed. Be careful. Look after yourselves!
