Recruitment scam notice

What we never do

• We never ask for banking information at any stage of hiring. That includes your bank name, even when the request says it is “only” the name of the bank.
• We never ask which phone carrier you use, or whether your account is prepaid or postpaid.
• We never ask you to buy equipment, and we never send you a cheque or transfer to pay a supplier on our behalf.
• We never ask for money, fees, or gift cards, and we never ask you to pay for equipment or software against a promise of reimbursement.
• We never ask for payment in cryptocurrency, and we never ask for screenshots of a payment app profile or of a transfer.
• We never run an interview entirely as typed chat messages.
• We are not currently hiring, for these roles or any others. We do not have open positions in administration, data entry, customer service, booking, or appointment support.

How the fake process runs

Reports we have seen follow the same sequence:

1. An unsolicited email or Microsoft Teams invite offering an interview with “Doozer Technologies”.
2. A text-only interview in Teams chat, from an account using our company name.
3. A quick offer: around $30 per hour, a lower training rate, flexible remote hours, and a long list of US benefits.
4. Roles named as appointment support, administrative assistant, customer service representative, data entry clerk, data support coordinator, or booking coordinator.
5. A list of hardware and software they say they will ship to you, followed by a request for your home address.
6. A Microsoft Forms link, titled around “competency-based session / payroll and working schedule”, mixing ordinary interview questions with requests for your bank name, your payroll method, your phone carrier and whether it is prepaid or postpaid, and whether you own a printer, scanner, and fax machine.
7. A pass mark: a score out of ten, congratulations on qualifying, and an invitation to begin onboarding.
8. A request for a personal email address, which moves the conversation off Teams and away from anything Microsoft can shut down.
9. An equipment procurement policy: the company funds your equipment, you buy it yourself from a certified vendor, and past delivery failures are given as the reason. Offering to use a machine you already own is refused.
10. A request that you pay for the equipment yourself, in cryptocurrency, from a payment app, to a wallet address they send you, with reimbursement promised once training begins. If one address is refused by the app, another is sent, and then another.
11. Requests for screenshots: your payment app profile, and the completed transfer, framed as checking that it all went through correctly.
12. After the payment, the equipment is waiting on the vendor, then on a confirmation, and then the conversation stops.

The payment is the point of the whole exercise, and the method is chosen with care. Cryptocurrency sent to an address someone gave you cannot be recalled. There is no chargeback, no bank that can reverse it, and no way to identify who holds the wallet. That is also why you are told to select the fastest confirmation speed. The screenshots serve the same purpose: they confirm the money has left, and they hand over a picture of your payment account. No employer needs either.

The reimbursement never arrives. If money reaches you first instead, as a cheque or a transfer to pass on to a supplier, it reverses later and the loss lands on you.

The form earlier in the sequence does its own damage. The banking and payroll questions set up that reversing payment, and the phone carrier question is used to judge how easily your mobile number could be taken over.

How they keep you moving

The conversation is built to carry you to the payment step before you stop to check anything:

• A start date is named early, usually days away, so any delay feels like your fault.
• You are scored, praised, and told you are a strong candidate.
• Gaps in the conversation are covered with apologies for the delay, the way a busy employer would.
• Whatever you raise is agreed to, including any accommodation you disclose. Agreeing costs them nothing, because there is no job.

None of this is evidence of anything. A real employer will wait while you check who they are.

They quote this notice back at you

When candidates mention the warning on this site, the fake recruiter has claimed it is their own anti-impersonation measure and that seeing it means they are genuine. It is not. This notice is published by DoozerAI and it is about them. No genuine DoozerAI recruiter will ever point at it as proof they are real.

How to check an approach

• Start from the fact that we are not currently hiring. An interview offered in our name is not genuine, whatever the person conducting it says.
• Check the sender domain character by character. Our people write from addresses ending in @doozer.ai. A display name is not a domain.
• Treat any request for banking, payment, or phone account details as the end of the conversation, whoever appears to be asking.

If you have already replied

• Do not send money, and do not deposit or forward any cheque or transfer they send.
• If you paid by card, bank transfer, or a payment app balance, contact your bank or the app the same day and ask them to attempt a recall. Speed matters more than anything else you do.
• If you paid in cryptocurrency, it cannot be recalled. Keep the wallet address, the transaction ID, and the whole conversation, and report them: the exchange or app you sent from can freeze an account, and fraud services trace addresses across cases.
• If you gave banking details, contact your bank and tell them what happened.
• If you gave phone account details, contact your mobile provider and ask them to add a port-out PIN or account passcode.
• Report the Teams account and the form to Microsoft.
• Report it to your national fraud service: Action Fraud in the UK, the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov in the US, or your local police elsewhere.
• Forward what you have to info@doozer.ai. It helps us get the accounts taken down.
