To all job seekers:
Be aware of job scams when applying online. In my case, scammers impersonated Lennox International—a well-known climate-control solutions company. Of course, Lennox had nothing to do with it. Let me share my experience and give you a few tips on how to recognize such scams.First, the scammers contacted me exclusively via Webex messages—no video or phone calls. This was odd, as legitimate hiring processes usually start with a phone or video interview.
Second, instead of a real interview, they asked me to fill out a questionnaire. That was another red flag.
Third, the day after I submitted the questionnaire, someone calling himself “Earl Smith” congratulated me on getting the job—without any coding challenge, video calls, or interviews with a hiring manager or HR representative. Nothing!
The final and most obvious sign: they asked me to deposit a check into my personal account to pay for future office equipment and then send funds to a “company vendor.” As soon as I became suspicious, I started asking questions. If you find yourself in a similar situation, try asking for the corporate phone number and extension to call them directly. Ask why there are no video or audio interviews. Question why the company wants you to buy equipment, instead of purchasing it themselves from a vendor.
It’s also a good practice to find the company’s phone number on their official website and call HR to confirm that you are actually in their hiring process.
Beware: these scams are very sophisticated, often using email addresses that look almost identical to the real company’s domain. In my case, the address was hr@careers-lennox.com. The emails were “signed” by a supposed HR Chief:
Congratulations, and welcome onboard!
