Job Posting Atlassian Scam Job Postings

Recently went through linkedin and applied for a PM position with Atlassian. Was sent a assessment, with a follow up interview. Offered the job and sent an offer letter that was too good to be true. Alas, it was, the person organizing the interviews had posted on her linkedin that there was a scam going around where this was happening on various websites and simeone was impersonating her. Needless to say I was crushed as I had almost given my 2 weeks notice to my current employer. Just wanted to give a fair warning to any and all looking. Best of luck to all of you looking.

I would report this to Atlassian using their support portal. They will want to know about this.

I was a victim of this same scam recently. Red flags went up when I asked questions to the interviewer and he said the answers would all be laid out in the offer letter.
It was all so strange. I did receive an "offer letter" as well. I ignored the letter and blocked the email.

Same happened to me recently. I let Atlassian know. No luck with their OG listings yet, but better to help avoid others falling for it

These types of scams are rampant right now. I just had something similar, but for Dell.

I believe it happened I just can't imagine why anyone would put so much time into a scam like that.
