Had a “recruiter” ask for the last 4 digits of my social. THAT’S WILD. It was for a position at a defense company, but I hadn’t even interview nothing nada. . . I only spoke with him over email. I stopped replying. Ultimately, I think it was a scam but be careful out here.

Really odd to ask under those circumstances. Would not be surprised if the defense company bit was just to lure people into a false sense of comfort to get some sensitive data. When in reality they should be the first people to know better. Scams are awful out there and better to be cautious for sure.

I would say no

I just stopped engaging. I wasn’t desperate for the job. I also don’t want to continue communicating with someone who is sketchy.
