Job Scam: Fake Xenex Job Offer

Scam Type: Fake Check or Money Mule Scam
Fake Names: Simon Schupp
Offer Type: Job Offer
Scammer Location: Claims to be from UK.
Scammer Email: simon.schupp@gmail.com, XenexTech@mail2recruiter.com

Someone might ask if we called Xenex to confirm if the undermentioned mail is real or scam. We don’t have to call them. Even our friend who forwarded us this mail can tell that it is a scam. Why?

1) Look at the email address. Typical scam mail uses one email address to send (XenexTech@mail2recruiter.com), and anothersimon.schupp@gmail.com to correspond. Xenex.com has a website, and the scammers even included that in their email. If its an original mail from Xenex, the email address should be from xenex.com.

2) Any home-based, “Payment Transfer”, “Receive and Remit payment” schemes, are scams because such job do not exist. Companies do not contact strangers to help them collect money by sitting at home using a computer.

In any case, Xenex.com is down at this time and we are not sure about the status of the company.
