Job / Internship / work-from-home scam

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!

Hi Myself M(26) from Pune, Maharashtra. I am actively looking for a data analyst job, and for that I'm continuously applying through Naukri, Foundit, Indeed and LinkedIn. Today I got a call in which a woman said she was calling from AAI(AIRPORTS AUTHORITY OF INDIA) and there are several openings for IT and non-IT profiles. As I spoke further, she said they have many openings for Data Analysts throughout India. At first, I thought it was a legit call, but when I asked Where did you get my profile, as I didn't remember applying for AAI, she said through an online portal. As I got a little curious and asked one more time, like, "Can you tell me the exact platform?" she fumbled. At this point, I knew something was fishy. She said we're offering you around 40- 45 K in-hand salary, and for that, you have to give an online interview. The first round will be telephonic, the second online interview and if needed, you have to come for a face-to-face interview. I said yes to that. Then she said that, as your profile is not registered and is non-referral, you have to pay Rs 1200, which is refundable if you fail the interview. At this point, I was convinced that this is a SCAM. So I said that this seems like a scam and you're looting money from people which is desperately looking for a job. She said, " No, sir, you can check the AAI website and all." As I told her, after checking there so such job openings on the official portal, and I started confronting her. I told her this way is not gonna work; she cut the call. I want to tell you pls be aware of such fraud calls and fake job offers; there are plenty of them in the market. I already worked with 2 companies in the past, so I know nobody asks for money or fees that are refundable if you didn't get selected for a job when they're calling you from a company. People like me who are desperately looking for a job are their main target, as we don't think that much when we get a call for a job due to excitement. So be aware.

First email received, was suspicious and I didn't have a recollection of applying for this company. I should've ignored this email but I didn't catch that the "Dear Candidate" at first. Second email received, never heard of Pumble before. I would assume a company like Temporal would use Slack, Teams, or continue this hiring process over email. I removed my name for privacy This is where my suspicion peaked, as everything in this "Pumble" chat was copy and pasted from somewhere else. Remote positions for entry-level jobs do not pay that much, especially for entry-level positions. I was desperate for work though so I kept going. And this is where I dipped, I'm not filling out and submitting a W-4 and an I-9, and sending a form of ID over an unencrypted chat app. This is also when I noticed that "Richard" had a plyon.app email address, so that only reinforced my decision to stop communicating with these scammers. If you see any email with a nicheful.io or plyon.app address, ignore it. Also double-check with the legitimate company itself, I should've double-checked to make sure everything was legit before putting time into this "job process." Fuck this job market man.
