**SCAM ALERT**
Fusion Market is a legit company. However, someone is using their company in an attempt to scam ppl in search of a job. I never applied to this job but was contacted via email. They also sent some seemingly legit documents via email as well. I was asked to download an app called lark for an interview. The interview lasted about an hour it was all done through text essentially. There were things that seemed off to me. There were many grammar issues among other things. They wanted me to purchase multiple devices including a Samsung Galaxy and an iPad, that they claimed I needed for the position. Their goal was for me to mail these devices to them after purchase, so that they could download the needed software for the position. In turn I’d be reimbursed for the money I spent. They pretty much “hired” me on the spot after the “text” interview on Lark. This is obviously a major red flag when it comes to UX positions. I did get a chance to speak to someone on the phone who had a very obvious and strong (non-American) accent. I asked his name and he lied and used the name of an actual Fusion Marketing employee. I did a lot of research and even got in contact with the real fusion marketing. They told me they have no record of an interview with me or anything. They also confirmed that they were aware of this same scam happening before with their company name. Thankfully I didn’t purchase the devices or provide them with any personal info.
Better luck next time SCAMMERS!
Please be careful guys!
I applied online. I interviewed at Fusion Marketing in May 2022
Interview
*Warning SCAM*
I was sent a detailed PDF letting me know what my roles would be for the job. It also mentioned that I would need to acquire a MacBook Pro, an iPad Pro, etc. and then send the devices over to their technicians in order to merge it with their server.
I downloaded an app called Lark to do a chat interview. The interview lasted over an hour and the person I was chatting took a long time to respond to me.
I became suspicious after the interview and noticed the emails were coming from a .co domain which on further inspection is a domain registered in Iceland. (Not Missouri obviously)
When I received a follow up call the next work day I spoke with someone about continuing the interview process. I asked him what time it was in Missouri and he blew me off and said I could ask questions at the end. I insisted that he just tell me what time it is. After some additional insisting and him saying "Well that's east coast time"... (wrong) he finally told me what time it was in St. Louis. Nice googling.
NOW... was that a FAKE Fusion Marketing? Is THIS company the real deal? I couldn't tell you because the two times I tried to reach this company to ask them about this I never reached anyone and no one returned my voicemails.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Fusion Marketing in Oct 2021
Interview
The interview process is in a chatroom with the interview manager. She takes quite awhile to reply and isn't consistent with her answer time, next thing you know you've said five things which are mostly acknowledging what you need to read and it's already been an hour into the interview. They an inconsiderate of your time and seems like a waste of time to do the interview in this process.
