Hello,
I am a recent immigrant to Canada and wanted to share an incident regarding a Data Entry job vacancy at Amplitude that I came across on Facebook Messenger. I received a message from an individual who provided an email address, interview.amplitude@gmail.com, to set up a Google Chat interview. During the interview process conducted by a person named Jim WhiteHurst, I was eventually sent a cheque for $1000, supposedly to purchase essential software and a laptop. The cheque was issued by Amplitude Inc Canada. Subsequently, I was asked to purchase Visa gift cards worth $950 and provide screenshots of the front and back to transfer the funds to a vendor. I followed these instructions.
Today, I received a request to repeat the process, which raised suspicions and led me to decline. I attempted to find contact information on the official Amplitude website, but I was unsuccessful. That is why I am reaching out through your Twitter platform to report this matter.
Thank you for your attention to this issue.
Sincerely,
