I’ve been applying for jobs and have been getting messages from seemingly random people asking me to provide a “Microsoft Teams email” in order to get further information about the job. It’s always the same text, but completely different people each time. Often they identify as CTOs, but their role descriptions look fake.
After asking if they could not just use my email, they say I have to “download an account.” So fishy… anyone else seeing this?
