Job seeker scam

[Mandoliner]

A person calling himself "James Smith" and pretending to represent "Ritual.com"  preys on job seekers, trying to get them to add "ritual-at-job4u.com" to their Zoom contacts to facilitate an online hiring process. (That e-mail address uses a domain name that is registered but parked (not in use).

Ritual, apparently, is a real company that sells vitamins online—and I suspect they don't know about this scam. "James Smith" contacted my son—a video editor—about producing content for Ritual. He's had this happen before. At some point the fake HR manager says he needs to send money—for equipment or something, and says he will be reimbursed.  I believe the last time this happened, the scammers also used Zoom as part of the scheme. 

So... beware!
