Network Operations Lead Ashburn, VA

T-Rex has been tracking a recent trend of job offer scams. These scams start with an unsolicited email or Linked In message from a fake or impersonated recruiter that states the candidate meets a skillset that the recruiter is looking for. That is often followed up with a false screening questionnaire and even an interview for the nonexistent position. After this, the candidate receives an official-looking job offer.

In some cases, there is also a request for a large payment to acquire office equipment, such as a laptop. The scammer tells the victim that they will be reimbursed for the purchase of the office equipment, but of course this never happens.

All legitimate communication from T-Rex will have an email address ending with . If you receive communications from any other email domain, please disregard and do not engage with them.
