SCAM ALERT

SCAM ALERT - Position with the following title, posted by **Edited for community guidelines**

They wanted me to interview on Google Hangouts and posted they were the Hiring Director for the company. Something didn't seem right so I called the company, and they said that staff member is on maternity leave, and she was not aware of that open position. It is a scam and must be removed!

Yes.

Invite to interview via Google Hangout = scam

In the future, you can save time by immediately ending communications with such people. No need to call the company whose name the scammer copied from the Internet.

They are back today with the exact message wording. I reported the message. More than 15 people submitted proposals and will be receiving this fake request to connect outside UpWork.
