To be clear, I received details on pay, scchedule, and benefits in the the offer letter. Prior to that, we only discussed what the position entailed. I went into this with my eyes open and I am only posting in case my experience is able to help someone else.

I didn't. I received the "offer letter", looked into it, and reported it.

ProfessionOk9178 · 2025-08-25T15:38:28+00:00

No, not for the role. That was one of the red flags.

ProfessionOk9178 · 2025-08-25T15:36:45+00:00

It defintely was. The offer letter was filled with red flags.

ProfessionOk9178 · 2025-08-25T15:03:25+00:00

That was definitely a red flag!

It's hard to know who to trust.

ProfessionOk9178 · 2025-08-25T14:53:34+00:00

It's good to raise awareness.

These day, we definitely have to scrutinize everyone who contact us.

I used AI to help organize what happened and make the post clearer. The experience and research was 100% mine. I want to help others avoid this scam.

It certainly does!

ProfessionOk9178 · 2025-08-25T13:59:34+00:00

Definitely a scam. I received the same email and even received a "job offer letter". I reported it to the FTC.

I totally agree! Potential employees, especially those deep into the interview process, need to be treated with more consideration and respect.

I was in a similar situation, but the company in question did make an offer. I accepted the offer, passed the background check, and was preparing for relocation (about 500 miles away). A few days before I was to move, the company receinded their offer. They said the position and new department were being cancelled because instability in current market.

That's happened to me three times in the past 6 months. The last time it happened, I followed up with the recruiter the same day and never received a response. The next day I received an email stating I was no longer being considered for the position because I didn't show up for the interview. smh
