Dalanche Operations Officer Fake Job Scam

And here's another email I just received from another company that immediately wants to hire me without an interview after simply seeing a resume that I supposedly placed online.

Below is a screen shot of the location. Notice far below the internet domain registration by a James Corey of 580 Geary Street in San Francisco. This is funny because that is the same location of a restaurant called the Millennium Restaurant in San Francisco. And to make matters even more suspect, notice the email address on the company website of www.dalanche.com. It's fake because it's going to a @usa.com email domain.

Geez. Please read on for the verbatim email I received plus the following domain look up for the actual website itself to prove why I believe it's a same without any shadow of a doubt.

Below is that email:

Hey it's me again. You can actually visit the website of this fake job by going to www.dalanche.com but it just can't be a real company or job. I'll post more later with information on the website. The website just looks nice and clean and well written but there is no way this job or this company is legitimate.

Have a good week ahead everyone!!

P.S. If you search and do a "whois" on the domain Dalanche.com, you will see the following information which just doesn't add up, either for the name or address of the person that supposedly created this website. And look far below where it . That is also without a doubt a fake name and address for James Corey on "Geary Street" in San Francisco.

Please be careful those who might be considering this company for employment.

It's not real.

Here's the whois information:

Thank you so much for this post! I received the same email and continued to google information on the company only to find none. The website also doesn't give a clear idea of what the company even does so that was my first sign something was up. Good to know my hunch was right.

Thank-you so much. I had a feeling that this was a scam. It's really sad about all the crppks out there preying on the jobless. Steve.

I very nearly fell for this myself. I actually went as far as to email them a handful of times trying to get more information and call their number listed. It was always the same woman who had a heavy accent (french?) and if she did not answer, the line would just continuously ring. Eventually they sent me a 3 page employment agreement and another form requesting my bank account information (my name, bank name/address, account number, and routing number). At this point I asked why my banking information was required, to which she answered it was for direct deposit payment. Finally I figured time to do some googling and see what comes up about this place. I can provide copies of the "forms" they wanted filled out if it helps others to not fall for this.
