The Brief
- Vanessa Nelson was recruited by email for a VP position at a California tech company.
- The company is real, but multiple rounds of virtual interviews were fake.
- The scammers sought both personal information and a cash transfer.
(FOX 9) – When Vanessa Nelson got the email asking her to interview for a VP position at a California tech company, it didn’t seem out of the ordinary.
She runs her own management consultant business, but her LinkedIn profile indicates she’s open to consider other positions.
“Most of us in this industry get them all the time,” she said. “And they invested hours of time with me – probably six to eight hours total over those 10 days – before there was an offer. Before they asked for any information from me.”
