Hi all,
I wondered if anyone can help me.
I applied for a job last week through a site called ‘we work remotely’.
I had an email this morning saying I had been short-listed and they wanted me to set up a Google hang outs interview.
I didn’t do this, however I did respond to the email.
Anyway, I found out that the job I had applied for was part of a phishing scam.
Someone had created a fake web domain and email address of an existing company and copied job posts from their website and changed them to include false contact information and then posted these jobs to a job site.
They have my CV- which contains my email address, website and my personal telephone number, as well as my business address (which is on my email signature).
I just wondered if this is something I need to be worried about in terms of the info they have on me?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
