Who called from the number +1 (613) 702-6869

Sounds like a scammer.

This phone number is associated with a fraudulent job posting. After I applied, I received a very prompt reply indicating that I would be eligible for an interview but the email was very suspicious, so I called the company directly. The Retail Motor Industry Federation is a legitimate company located in the U. K. I was told that there had been 4 fraudulent postings (on Indeed.com) in which their company name had been used. Here's the email I received: *** From: Stephen Latham [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, September 25, 2020 7:38 AM To: Stephen Latham Subject: Re: Online Interview with Retail Motor Industry Federation My apologies, the hiring manager will not be available to proceed via Hangouts so you're to create a Skype account and send an invite to the hiring manager on [email protected] ________________________________ From: Stephen Latham Sent: 25 September 2020 12:26 Subject: Online Interview with Retail Motor Industry Federation Hello, Our recruiting team at The Retail Motor Industry Federation has reviewed your resume and we believe you have the required qualifications to undergo an online interview with Mr. Fred Hicks.
