Hey guys, need some help from anyone in Cisco. My brothers received a text message saying he has been selected for an interview and now the lady is chatting with him on GroupMe. He had applied for a financial analyst position a while ago, and now she’s pitching him some role that “records payslips”. I’m quite sure this is a scam, but on the off chance this isn’t, can anyone from Cisco confirm whether they’ve received an interview call like this and had to do the interview on GroupMe?

Scam, Cisco conducts the interviews via Webex almost exclusively.

Really appreciate you confirming this!

Have him tell the person that they would rather communicate by WebEx or email (where you can verify the @cisco.com email of who you’re talking with). if they refuse or invent some excuses as to why they can’t… well, there’s your answer.

(no one here uses GroupMe for anything official).
