PIREN TECHNOLOGIES based in Plano, TX IS A SCAM!

A “recruiter” found my resume on ziprecruiter. I went through the interview process. They offered me a position. I researched the company.

Vague website
0 online presence
No one had signatures in their emails
Voiced concerns to interviewer
She INSTANTLY went offline
Emailed address on website - ADDRESS NOT FOUND
LinkedIn won’t allow direct message to “person”

I pray nothing but pain and suffering for these people

ALWAYS verify any email, direct message or other correspondence from a recruiter before even responding. Many of these are phishing scams and just responding or accepting a request to connect can open you up to all sorts of stuff.

Take this as a cautionary tale, if something feels too good to be true, it almost always is.

Sorry to hear. I recently went through a similar experience with a different company. I noticed irregularities and mistakes in their docs and emails. I digged deeper and confirmed it was a deep fake. A medical device manufacturer in SoCal. 😬

As for your data, it has likely leaked already before and will happen many, many times in your lifetime.

What is it with Texas? Scammers all over the place. Seems like they’re a little too hands off in Texas.

I haven't heard of them before but that is awful to here. There are far too many scammers out there these days and you can never be too careful. Thank you for warning the rest of us so we can avoid them.

I'll tell you what it is: referencing!

You have to do so much of it, and it's so annoying. You have to cite your sources, but there are so many different formats for citations! And then sometimes you don't even know how to cite something, and how are you supposed to know that unless you ask someone who knows? And even then, they might not be sure whether it should be an in-text citation or a footnote…

I have a question, I got a contract role through a recruiter. Initially the recruiter offered the hourly pay rate which was the minimum in my range. Now I got an offer from the company. Now without me asking her she increased the hourly wage to the maximum range I asked. Which makes me doubt if the company increased it or she knew the rate all along but gave me the lower rate ?
