Scam Details

A lady contacted me via LinkedIn informing me they have received my job application. As I was sending out a number of applications, I didn’t specifically check it out. Another lady messaged me via WhatsApp and said she is representing “Lim & Tan Securities Pte Ltd”, I did find it weird as to why did a Hong Kong number claimed to be the HR messaged me, as nowadays a lot of companies are operating as WFH basis, so I didn’t question much, it started to get weirder when this lady messaged me thru the weekend and have another man to WhatsApp me claiming he is John Lim, the boss of the company, I was alerted when he spelt my name wrongly and even though I corrected him, he still did the same thing and even spelt his company name wrongly. and so I went online to check on my job application and realised that I didn’t applied for a position in Lim & Tan Securities Pte Ltd and the person who messaged me earlier had her account removed and being the LinkedIn page for Lim & Tan Securities Pte Ltd posting was replaced by another person who is just an admin assistant. I believe a company posting on LinkedIn won’t be posted by an admin assistant and so I questioned the lady and called her and she didn’t picked up the call and both the guy and the lady were blocked by me and they changed their display photos right after that.
