這幾個月來因為疫情的關係,在美國的求職生活真的是滿困苦的...
沒想到在這個時間點還有新一代的詐騙集團開始崛起,傻眼!
身邊的朋友遇到了這個狀況後,我決定把它分享出來,希望不要再有華人朋友受難了!!
首先在美國人人皆知的求職網站不外乎就是indeed和monster
這起事件就是發生在 Indeed 求職網的真實事件!
又稱為 Job Interview Scam 求職面試詐騙!
即使你查的到這間公司、查得到跟你聯繫的人,這都不一定是真的!!
事情的經過是這樣:
友人一個月前在Indeed投了一個遠端工作的職缺
時隔一個月後的今天突然早上收到公司寄信來,說有興趣,想要面試他 ↓↓
Thank you for your application for the Software Developer (REMOTE) position at XXX. After reviewing your application, our online recruitment team has recommended you for the open position and you're among the candidates shortlisted for a virtual screening test/interview session with a Senior Recruiter at XXX.
This virtual screening test/interview is online through Email correspondence and Google Hangouts. The window for this screening test/interview is Tuesday and Wednesday from 10 am each day.
You are to immediately contact the Senior Recruiter Ms. OOO at her email (thehiringteam.
The goal of this interview is for us to get to know you better, and for you to ask any questions you may have. We want to make sure that your skills, goals and ambitions match our company’s culture and the position.
乍看之下好像沒問題,但其實這裡就出現了他們現在最慣用的手法!(更別說有些文法上的問題,看起來就不是native speaker寫的)
一個面試不用視訊只需要email回答問題? 還不是說登入他們公司的面試頁面,就只是用email撰寫內文回答問題。
另外,如果提到說要使用 google hangouts,也是高機率有問題!
然後最大的問題還有就是他們聯絡你的信箱!通常公司都會有註冊自己的email帳號,所以他們使用gmail/outlook什麼的就非常奇怪!!
接著他們會再寄信請你提供你的電話與居住地區以便他們資料註記 ↓↓
We have carefully considered your application during the initial screening and will now proceed to administer a screening test/Interview for you.
In order for us to move ahead with the selection process, please reply this email to confirm your details as follows:
Name :
Phone Number :
Location:
然後再來他就會很緊湊的寄信告訴你說要你面試,然後你回傳他們所謂的"面試"後,大概不到4小時他們就會回信告訴你,你錄取了!並且附上莫名其妙高的薪水,例如↓

以上這封大概就是最後的信的,他們會釋出最大的誠意告訴你你好優秀、你很符合他們的需求(這裡勉強都還算合理?)
但是!
以下是一些慣有文句:
1. 這是一份遠端工作,有些會說你的工作時間是非常彈性的 (聽起來很棒)
2. 你會先受到 online training,然後會讓你建立你的 mini office (聽起來真的很棒)
3. 你會拿到weekly payment,而且薪水很高 (聽起來也很棒)
4. 三個月後你會拿到更多的benifits,包含保險 (聽起來合情合理)
5. 除了薪水以外,你會額外拿到一筆錢讓你用來set up你的mini office,你可以用這筆錢來購買電腦以及工作需要的軟體 (天啊也太好了吧)
6. 請你盡速、立刻、馬上回信 (很急著要跟你工作)
7. 然後再次請你回復他們你的個人資料
如果你也收到了類似的訊息,請你再三確認一切是不是都合情合理,三思而後行。
並不是說遠端工作都是假的,但最近詐騙公司特別喜歡用遠端工作做為誘因,所以建議如果是全遠端的面試、錄取的話,在給出你的個人資料以前可以先上公司的官網找聯絡信箱或電話聯繫一下確認。
這次的整起事件真的是讓我們半信半疑了整個過程,而我上述的這些所有信件,是在短短8小時內完成的來回信件,不禁讓人覺得,這公司真的這麼想要錄取友人?
起初友人收到信的時候覺得有點弔詭,畢竟這間公司是1個月以前投的了,於是他去搜尋了他的求職紀錄,發現他真的"投過這間公司"。
之後,在"面試的email"裡面,內容並無提及任何和程式相關的問題(友人是computer science背景),反而問了很多「如果你工作時xxx了,你會怎麼辦」的情境題。
接著,回傳"面是email"後不到2小時就收到錄取通知,面試他的人請他轉寄自己的資料到HR(human resource)部門去。
這時,友人覺得實在是很詭異,於是就上網查了這個面試人與HR負責人,發現在這間公司的網站上,真的有這兩個人,而且linkedin也查的到有這兩個人的資訊。
到最後讓我們覺醒發現這是一場騙局的重點就是他的發件信箱真的是 太 奇 怪 了 !
居然是 (thehiringteam.
首先他們前半段,完全沒系統的冗長,彷彿只是把所有關鍵字打上的一個信箱
再來他們後半段,居然是用gmail?照理來說,一間公司應該會有註冊自己的信箱。
於是隔天一早,收到這份高薪又好到不行的 offer lette r後,友人決定直接打電話到這間 XXX 公司去詢問。
結果對方說:他們現在並沒有在招人,而且在更這之前他們已經得到消息說有人在冒用他們的名義,所以他們已經把職缺把檢舉下架了。也就是說,Indeed求職網上的缺,是詐騙公司自己設立的。從一開始就是個圈套!
所以如果你也遭遇類似的情況,可以連絡這個無緣的公司讓他們知道並且更進一步的處理這件事情,以防更多人受騙。
因此,在這裡分享出來這個在美國遇到的求職詐騙,是希望大家可以做為借鏡。
並不是說拿到好offer就一錠是假的,而是要注意看清,尤其是在這個疫情期間不能in-person面試,詐騙集團就喜歡用遠端工作這種作為誘因來騙人!
許多詐騙公司都會這樣假裝要給你錢,在你把支票存入之後他們好像就可以想辦法得到你的帳戶資訊,進而竊取你的錢。所以真的要小心呀!
Anyway
還是希望大家可以順利找到工作、健健康康囉!
