Are you interested in working for Virtuance? Please be aware that we are experiencing an uptick in scammers targeting potential Virtuance applicants.

How Does the Scam Work?

The scammers text you to alert you to a job at Virtuance and say they found your resume on Indeed or Careerbuilder, or a variety of other job-hunting websites. The text is riddled with weird punctuation and capitalization.

We will never text your cell phone number unsolicited to set up an interview at Virtuance.

Then, the scammers will set up an interview through Zoom or Skype. They use the chat feature for interviewing the “candidates.” At Virtuance, you will only get emails from “virtuance.com” email addresses, and we conduct our interviews on Zoom with video.

After the initial interview, the scammers will assign you a training assignment. They will say that your training pay is set at a certain amount an hour and that you will increase after you finish training. They will request your direct deposit information and ask you to add specific email addresses to your Zoom to perpetuate the scam.

Then, the real kicker is that the scammers use Virtuance letterhead to send a job offer letter. However, much of the information in this offer letter is not accurate and does not come from our CEO or hiring department.

Watch Out For Scams

In some cases, these scammers even send checks to applicants (that then bounce). Please make sure that you don’t become victim to one of these scams. Never provide personal information to strangers on the internet. We will not contact you through Gmail email addresses, only our virtuance.com email addresses.
