Hey all,
We just got testimonials of yet another affected user. Please see below:
This is the fraudulent job position of a CMO that’s been posted on LinkedIn - if you stumble upon it, please report it as a scam:
https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/1743197132/
It’s been advertised by a LinkedIn user named Jess Granone:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/jess-granone-63241212/
If you get contacted by him, please report him to LinkedIn.
This is how the scam works: this person contacts people on LinkedIn, probably based on their profiles and informs them that they have been shortlisted for a job interview with æternity Crypto Foundation. They are then referred to a Telegram account impersonating AE’s HR manager Olga Polischuk. Please see below:
Their website is career-aeternity.com
Here’s what the affected user shared with us:
“She” then tried to get me to send $2,000 via Venmo to a personal account for a Mac. The website for the company’s “preferred vendor” of IT products is a spoof of a website of an actual legitimate company based in the Phoenix area that is a preferred vendor to a lot of large companies. The scam artists emailed me a fraudulent bank draft that was deposited in my business checking account yesterday via my mobile banking app."
We are grateful to everyone coming forward and helping us hunt those scammers down.
Please be vigilant.
