How odd. I just received one of these and I don't have my resume posted. I posted for services I offer. And this strange, disjointed email came through from NantHealth Care. Almost same exact wording!! I was doing a little research on it to see if there were said people at the company. Your scam alert popped up!! So thank you. I blocked the dude and reported him as a spammer.

What I'm not sure about is how they use the hangout to get your info. That is odd.

Hi Julie! Good catch, this is most certainly a scam. Unfortunately posting your resume cam sometimes get you the unwanted attention of scammers. Generally speaking, legit job opportunities don't use Google Hangouts for interviews, nor do they use gmail addresses to communicate. They also would surely do a better job of proofreading their recruiting letters!

For anyone curious as to how Julie figured out it was a scam, I recommend checking out this great list of the top ten signs of a job scam: https://www.thebalance.com/top-job-scam-warning-signs-2062181

Thanks again, Julie!

thanks for letting the community know, Julie. One giveaway sometimes is if the email address is not a company's email (I see this fellow uses gmail). Thats not a 100% rule, its possible legitimate jobs might use gmail, but generally you'd expect to see the hiring company's email address..
