God damn, the job scammers have gotten atrociously bad... I'm getting multiple a day. Context: these are people who use fake job postings for identity theft and sometimes for laundering illegal purchases. How to spot them: No job should be contacting you from a free email address unless it's a very small and non-tech related business.They apparently love to use Microsoft Teams currentlyThe email doesn't name a companyThe email address doesn't match the company name in the signatureThey try to push you to continue the conversation outside of email (they do this in cases where they're spoofing emails so can't receive replies)The email address isn't actually to you, but instead to a free account (this is them taking advantage of people's tendency to use reply-all, so they can get a reply while making it look like the email is coming from someone else)They're talking about multiple unrelated positions, often paying higher than the normThey're holding interviews today and you need to respond immediately if you don't want to miss out!
