Title: This year, I retired from a FAANG job, but I have a profile on a freelancing website to coach people for tech interviews. (Unlike many, I always enjoyed the interview process, and have been told many times I&#x27;m a great interviewer.) This provides a small amount of income and keeps my brain occupied.<p>Recently, I was contacted to participate in a remote work scam, where I would pose as the face of a remote worker. They offered 20%, all I needed to do would be attend the interviews, meetings, and pose as this person. The scammer already had a fake linkedin profile, interviews lined up, and just needed a willing participant.<p>I&#x27;ve contacted my local Attorney General to file a complaint, and am investigating how to let the freelancing site know this is taking place.<p>While I&#x27;ve known things like this could exist, this is the first time I&#x27;ve seen one play out in real-time. I&#x27;m posting this informationally  to let people know this is actually starting to happen.<p>Good luck with hiring out there, people.
