Type of a scam Employment

I received a remote job offer on LinkedIn from a user named Audrey Talkington. She sent me a link for this company’s career site but the website was very low budget for an international company so I started digging around. The company BridgePact has social media accounts but they were very clean for a company that has been in business since 2003 and there were still dummy images on the website they had set up. They have a valid address but it points at a property that exists but, there is no record of BridgePact being listed as the company that runs its business out of there. This contact was suspicous and they could be phishing for my social and credit information. I’m pretty sure this is a scam company. It is also very convincing. This person’s contact email is a gmail account also.

Nikki –

When exploring remote employment online we appreciate and understand that some skepticism can be healthy.

After searching through our records and based on the geographic zip code provided as a reference number, it does not appear that we have a record of you ever filling out an application, nor have you spoken personally to anyone at our company. We’re not sure which website you were referring to (we have more than one) or even if you have the right company.

As part of our employment process, we do provide independent contracts to some part-time skilled technology specialists (like web developers etc.,) who want to work from home. Our vetting process includes the following:

1. Fill out an application online. (Please note we DO NOT ask for a social security number or federal tax ID on our application as was implied).
2. A resume must be submitted with the application (Again no requirement for social security number or federal tax ID)
3. Applicants must agree to work history verification and project management training
4. W-9s, are the last step in the process and only requested after work has been completed and payroll is ready to cut checks.

Our commitment is to treat all applicants fairly, with respect and above all protect their data. Because we have no record of you contacting us, we would appreciate an opportunity to talk with you about what motivated you to write this review. We are constantly working on improving all aspects of our operations.

Respectfully,

Audrey Talkington, COO
