SUSPECTED SCAM!

Job Scam
Spark Talent Acquisition Inc.

Date09/29/2024
PseudonymSpark Talent Acquisition Inc.
Scam contentsYou may apply on job sites a company "Spark Talent Acquisition Inc." for data entry or some other remote work job. Most often from "mail@hire.lever.co" which is a job search site but scammers are using their email to hide their tracks. Notice there is no real company email you'll get.

They will reply back and insist you NEED to show them a background score with their link (transunion or maybe idenitycheck etc)

This is a scam to get you to sign up with their affiliate link. When you use the link to sign up, the scammer gets referral commissions. Along with being scammed to sign up for a credit report and helping the scammer get money, you could still get caught up in a fake check scam (to get fake work equipment) or be used as a money mule etc.

Here are some sample threads from reddit:
