Type of a scam Employment
SUMMARY: Promised a dream job – I just needed a training certificate and they recommended a vendor (themselves). There is no job. The certificate and training is worthless.
HOW IT WORKS:
I just got a phone call and an email for a decent job – everything looked really good. The recruiter’s name was Alex Jones – although he had an Indian accent.
I’m out of work and so my resume is posted on the standard sites… free to download by all and sundry. Additionally, this job is supposedly 100% remote. Sound too good to be true? Read on…
It started with an email from ‘Alex Jones’, I replied. Then he called. Just another Indian recruiter scouring the USA for tech resources… nothing eye popping so far. They have taken to using fake Anglo sounding names lately for some reason. [email protected]
He said that his manager would call me if I were shortlisted as she is working with their direct client, Verizon.
Sure enough, the manager called me and told me that I am a perfect fit for their direct client, Verizon. My education, all of my certifications and industry experience are exactly what they’re looking for except that I don’t have a LeanSixSigma Green Belt certification which is the last thing they require. (Nobody really requires this these days.)
Their client was starting the interviews in a couple of weeks, I would have ample time to take the course and get the certification and was a shoo-in for the job.
Then they sent this:
Hi ,
Please go through with the below mentioned links that we have got from the client’s end.
https://www.theagilestudy.com/product/six-sigma-green-belt/ ( Through The Agile Study you will get the sponsorship of 40-50% and it will be online training and examination)
https://www.6sigma.us/training-green-belt.php ( Through 6sigma.us you will not get any sponsorship and it will be classroom training and examination without any retakes)
Regards,
Alex Jones
So I went and searched the Verizon career portal and nowhere are they ever looking for anyone with LeanSixSigma of any type. No companies ever want just a LeanSixSigma Green Belt – I’ve never seen such a thing… but it is what these scammers are trying to sell.
If you click on any of the links, you would see that they have some on-site courses that cost $3000.00 and the remote course for just $1000.00 – oh, and Verizon would sponsor nearly 50% of the cost up front and the rest upon me accepting the job. Right.
Basically, they are charging about double what I could get the course for elsewhere, then ‘giving’ me a 40-50% discount.
They have said that their direct client, Verizon, is very interested in me, but I just need to have the LeanSixSigma Green Belt certification and they can recommend a preferred vendor that Verizon recommends – the domain was registered some 60 days ago.
This is a scam to sell unnecessary and unwanted, out-of-date training that nobody needs. This is a very sneaky, deceitful way of selling something by claiming to offer a job – that does not exist.
The companies involved go by the names of:
– blazestaffingsolution.com – They are the ones that set the trap and bait the ‘mark’.
– TheAgileStudy.com – The scam training company that sells some stupid training and certification for double the market price.
