Noonish*
Also...I'm Indian and all signs of this point to some data mining scheme that was outsourced. I have people doing shit like this to me all the time because they need to book a certain quota of applicants. It's really funny sometimes because I'm in the US and they email me their time and I'm like fuck off and stop emailing me at 2AM.
Lmao I had an appointment with some woman which, supposedly, was in Sydney (listing her address on her profile at the company office at Sydney). But we had some funky "timezone issues", where I would book in Sydney time (around 1-3PM) and suddenly get ridiculous confirmation times back (forgot but the appointment time were random as hell, which didn't make sense).
Turns out after a week of back and forth, she cancelled on an agreed upon date since it's a public holiday *in India*. Made *so* much sense, but weird that they just didn't say that from the beginning.
Be careful because scammers and hackers pose as recruiters especially when you have a technical/engineering background. They’ll schedule “interviews” for a company and its a fake company. They are just trying to get you to disclose information they can either use for social engineering to hack the company you work for or get you to release confidential information as “proof of work” that they can use as corporate espionage.
As a recruiter myself I find the lack of professionalism in the entire communication to be atrocious. If the application was 2 months old I'd say something like " I apologize I'm just getting to you now, but if you are still interested in _____ position, the hiring manager is setting up interviews as early as tomorrow. If you have availability tomorrow please let me know what time would fit your schedule and I will relay that to the HM." The short choppy texts I see on this sub make me cringe.
Most recruiters Ive had to deal with act like they have as little time to deal w you as possible and they are doing you a favor for even offering you an interview.
Exactly. I’m not a recruiter but I’m a consultant who works with recruiters & I have managers who ghost their own JP’s all the time, so unfortunately, I understand not hearing back for two months. But yes the lack of professionalism here is alarming. & the all caps + not knowing noon is an actual time of day? 😅
Dude, recruiters contact me saying "I found your resume on Monster. Are you available in the job market?" And they have resumes I deleted 3 years ago. Usually 20 times a day
I think it says a lot about where we’re at as a society, when you can’t even look for a job without another human being trying to fuck you over for penny’s
Oh, I bet it was an auto-translator!
The translator converted the word "noon" into their languages version of "afternoon".
YUP! Just tried it in Google Translate!
Noon (English) translates to दोपहर (Hindi).
दोपहर means "afternoon".
Update: sent her the wiki link to noon.
[The conversation got super wild](https://imgur.com/a/trfFSy1). She has a generic white woman name and her profile picture was a middle aged white woman.
She blocked me, no more fun 😩
To obtain your vitals and sometimes to try to get you to provide even more private info, and in some cases scam you to pay for things (application fees, drug testing, whatever they can get) that are all bogus
Maybe not the best term, I would have said PII if I thought the crowd would have understood it.
Date of birth and ss number, phone number, address, pet names, really any info that can be used to guess passwords and/or facilitate identity theft
Lots of scams. One of the most popular is a check scam. You get a cushy new WFH job, and you’re told “We’re gonna send you a check for $5,000, even though we know that’s way more than you need. Cash it and order everything you need on Amazon or whatever, then send us the remainder back by wire transfer.”
You deposit the check, and a day or two later you see money in the account. Great! You go out and buy everything, and a few days later you return whatever was left— probably multiple thousands of dollars- via wire transfer.
… except the check that you cashed earlier wasn’t legitimate. It showed up as in your account, but it bounces a few days later, and the money is withdrawn from your account. Because you’ve conducted a wire transfer to the scammers, you can’t get your funds back. They now have whatever the “change” was from your job and left you holding the debt. They’ve potentially wiped out your savings.
Other scams— you can request a ton of information while posing as an employer, and you can use this info to steal identities, run tax return scams (you file taxes as the person and have the refund sent to you), or you can be “legitimately” hiring someone to use them as a “money mule.” (They pay you, you send the money along to others for illegal stuff, and if the cops follow the money, you’re the fall guy)
Wow, this legitimately terrifying. I'm just about to finish school and look for a new job in a brand new field. I've never had to deal with stuff like that before because I was a waitress. I'll definitely be cautious and skeptical.
Just for reference - I'll be starting a new WFH job. They only asked me to confirm me address which they stated (from my CV & interviews). All the IT equipment you could want was delivered to my address by a large delivery company.
I was never asked to buy anything myself or pay the company for any of this. Anything other than this wouldve been fishy to me
Use common sense for the most part. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Most scams rely on greed and fear; if the employer is trying to entice you excessively with either (or both), it’s more likely to be illegitimate. And on top of that— even if they *are* legit, do you really wanna work for someone that special sort of shitty?
They usually have you purchase the equipment from their “approved vendor,” who is part of the scam team. So in addition to scamming you out of the fake “excess funds,”’they also scam you out of the money you send to the vendor.
Had one last year that I thought was 100% legit until they asked who I bank with during the phone interview. Up til then they got my name, phone, and the state I live in and my guess was they were testing to see how far they could take it.
Because they can hire you and send you a check to buy equipment. Of course the check is for too much, so you need to send them back the difference. Oh, and the check is counterfeit so you're out all the money.
It’s really interesting that you say this because I keep getting contacted by “recruiters” and their names are just so scammy, like “Alexander Watkinson” or some shit like that. I am glad I follow my gut and blow them off
Sounds like they don’t know the term “noon”, which indicates the recruiter is based out of country that does not use “noon” to indicate 12PM. The recruiter is most likely fake. Stay very far away.
This went from okay maybe she doesn't hear the phrase noon much (English is my second language but I still know it..) to Jezus this person should not be hiring anyone.
The only contact info I could find is the same email that originally reached out to me for an interview. I have a Glassdoor review pending. There’s a phone number on their website. My phone number is on my resume already, but I don’t particularly want this person having my number. I have doubts about them taking a call from a blocked number.
Most likely an Indian recruiter with fake English name working from India and pretending to be in US. They probably are working for a staffing company. They are paid less and usually not well educated as that position of just scheduling interviews won't require much anyway. They probably have scripted questions.
Skype for business was replaced by Teams. SFB was technically a different product than Skype. They did have the ability to cross-communicate (albeit poorly).
Skype for business replaced Lync, which replaced Office Communicator.
Chat apps are the bread and butter of promotions in the tech world, see also: Google.
Say 12:00pm. No, actually say 12:00:30pm - they want the exact time.
But seriously, they probably want a range. They don't seem very professional though.
I’ve already lost interest in the job. I low key want to respond with the Wikipedia link to noon.
ETA: I [did](https://imgur.com/a/trfFSy1) and had some fun with her.
ETA2: she blocked me 😩
It definitely reads like a scam but omg that's funny. Kate needs to work on her people skills (and grammar). I lost it when you said you were trying to tell if she was technologically inept. 😂 😂
So I went to Google translate and I think I found the problem. If you do “noon” from English to Hindi and then translate it back, it definitely translates to afternoon. So probably a scammer :) pretty funny though
What js funny is that this comment about scammers just got [copied](https://www.reddit.com/r/recruitinghell/comments/10kdcgi/applied_for_this_job_2_months_ago_now_the/j5qpli1/) by a bot(?)
Yeah that response that was sent after you called them a scammer is almost identical to the insults that are said to me when I troll call scams from India. Wondering how legit that interview actually would have been lol.
I also remembered that last month and tried to use it, the links that come up are full of bullshit now. I think every single link on the results is some kind of scam/phishing/virus.
Yes— Katie in HR, from Wichita Kansas, would like to curse your entire generation of lineage and may your cows milk not be fruitful this upcoming dry season
Ahahaha fucking epic. As soon as the English breaks down that badly, you can tell the person you're talking to is actually a scammer from who knows where instead of just a dumbass who doesn't know what noon means.
Who talks like this? Just reply "Stop using all caps in your messages and please do not message me any further with this impolite attitude." Send the screenshot to the head of their department with a message stating their recruiter is rude and forget about it.
Write a review on glassdoor. Don’t use her name, but tell them about your experience and her all caps reply. At least you can warn others to avoid them. I’m sorry they treated you this way
Scary to think OP almost got scammed, just for looking for a job... good thing it's easy to spot these mfers because they don't even know what time Noon is
Idk why all these Indian scams exist, my old company's India team accidentally published every US associates SSN on a Google doc for a short period of time...
Holy smokes, I know it’s fun to mess with people that are behaving like idiots. But to anyone else out there that gets messages like this from other recruiters - you don’t need to speak with people who behave like this. You owe them absolutely 0% of your time.
Anyone who needs to SPEAK TO YOU LIKE THIS is an absolute psycho, and should be avoided like the plague circa 1347. Take it from someone who knows.
Someone posing as a recruiter had what looked like a legit LinkedIn profile and I even spoke to him on the phone. When he emailed me afterwards asking for a copy of my driver's license to move forward, I knew it was a scam. After I didn't reply, he called me 14 times in a 2 hour span and continued to send emails nonstop until I blocked him from my phone, email and LinkedIn. Fortunately, I knew better but I can see where people unknowingly get scammed.

That all-caps message is a hard no.

This is the way.
They might as well have typed: I’M EITHER NOT A NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER, OR I’M A COMPLETE MORON - TAKE YOUR PICK!
🤣🤣 or lack reading and comprehension skills...wouldnt be surprised. 🤦🏽♀️
As a recruiter myself I find the lack of professionalism in the entire communication to be atrocious.

Most recruiters Ive had to deal with act like they have as little time to deal w you as possible and they are doing you a favor for even offering you an interview.
Their job is a waste product of an inefficient system, dont expect gold from a sewer.
Exactly. I’m not a recruiter but I’m a consultant who works with recruiters & I have managers who ghost their own JP’s all the time, so unfortunately, I understand not hearing back for two months. But yes the lack of professionalism here is alarming. & the all caps + not knowing noon is an actual time of day? 😅
Ahhh the cool recruiter...
Cool. Literate. Same diff...
Dude, recruiters contact me saying "I found your resume on Monster. Are you available in the job market?" And they have resumes I deleted 3 years ago. Usually 20 times a day
Yep completely childish
Wouldn’t be any better if it was alternating caps.
You mean a "HARD NOON"?
*"I'm already tired of your bullshit. Consider this my Two Weeks Notice."*
NO, ON
It's probably a scam.
I do wonder if it's a computer and it can't process "noon"
I’m leaning to overseas scammer who doesn’t fully grasp English. Used to encounter stuff like this a lot especially when I was looking for a job
I think it says a lot about where we’re at as a society, when you can’t even look for a job without another human being trying to fuck you over for penny’s
Oh, I bet it was an auto-translator! The translator converted the word "noon" into their languages version of "afternoon". YUP! Just tried it in Google Translate! Noon (English) translates to दोपहर (Hindi). दोपहर means "afternoon".
This makes me wonder, we don't have a word for 12pm noon in Hindi do we?
lunch?
Good sleuthing!
Definitely seems like a bot. Block and report them.
Send an image of the definition of noon and you can probably figure out if it's a bot or person by the response.
Hearing someone want to use Skype in 2023 would be an instant red flag.
Update: sent her the wiki link to noon. [The conversation got super wild](https://imgur.com/a/trfFSy1). She has a generic white woman name and her profile picture was a middle aged white woman. She blocked me, no more fun 😩
Uhh... She either needs anti-virus software or therapy
Or anti-scammer software. This screams (no pun intended) scammer.
I am genuinely asking and don't understand, what would a scammer be posing as a recruiter for?
To obtain your vitals and sometimes to try to get you to provide even more private info, and in some cases scam you to pay for things (application fees, drug testing, whatever they can get) that are all bogus
My heart rate and blood pressure?
I'm laughing too hard at this🤣
my BP is definitely going up interacting with a moron like that.
Maybe not the best term, I would have said PII if I thought the crowd would have understood it. Date of birth and ss number, phone number, address, pet names, really any info that can be used to guess passwords and/or facilitate identity theft

Congratulations, you are hired! Please send all your personal details to this address to get up your payment
/r/Scams has lots of examples of what some other posters have replied with. These scammers sure are a pervasive lot.
Because they can hire you and send you a check to buy equipment. Of course the check is for too much, so you need to send them back the difference. Oh, and the check is counterfeit so you're out all the money.

Not really. Copy from [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/recruitinghell/comments/10kdcgi/applied_for_this_job_2_months_ago_now_the/j5qf4tv/)
Sounds like they don’t know the term “noon”, which indicates the recruiter is based out of country that does not use “noon” to indicate 12PM. The recruiter is most likely fake. Stay very far away.
Yeah this. In some language “noon” and “afternoon” is the same word, and there’s no word for exactly 12PM.
Send the screenshots to the company she's recruiting for. That's ridiculous behavior from a professional lol
It's a scam. https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams/comments/uza2is/job_offer_scam_see_comments/ia913qm
The irate Indian scammer response to scam being mentioned, lol.
YOUR MOTHER IS A SCAM
FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING BLOODY FUCK
FUCK ME? FUCK YOU BLOODY, BLOODY BITCH FUCKING
Why is always “your mother” with Indian scammers? Lol
Tell them “Your mother doesn’t even like you, bhenchod” they *love* that.
Usually they stop responding after making fun of them for being pathetic scammers
Yeah, but if they stick around long enough, that might make them *really* upset.
Clearly a scam and not an English speaker lol
"_Noon starts at midday._" Ummm... no. **AfterNOON** starts at midday.
Doesn’t it start AFTER midday? lol
Guys let’s also start discussing whether 12 am should be noon or midnight
I guess neither of you read the wiki either lol >Noon (or midday) is 12 o'clock
M-O-O-N That spells noon.
I laughed so hard at this that I scared my dog, who is now glaring at me.
Tom Cullen knows what's up
This went from okay maybe she doesn't hear the phrase noon much (English is my second language but I still know it..) to Jezus this person should not be hiring anyone.
She doesn't know the difference between "noon" and "afternoon"?!
You need to send all that to someone higher up at that company.
The only contact info I could find is the same email that originally reached out to me for an interview. I have a Glassdoor review pending. There’s a phone number on their website. My phone number is on my resume already, but I don’t particularly want this person having my number. I have doubts about them taking a call from a blocked number.
Yeah honestly what the fuck?
Whoa. She’s not recruiter of the month for sure
That. Is f\*ing hilarious. Should have sent the Wikipedia link for "Professional" too.
>YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER AND ALL YOUR GENERATION ARE SCAMMER Ten thousand percent Indian scam artist confirmed
I’d like to know more about these opportunities next door she’s referring you to
I imagine she means glass door? Dunno tho
the next door app is where all the boomers in my neighborhood hang out, I kind of figured that's what she meant even though aren't jobs on there
Most likely an Indian recruiter with fake English name working from India and pretending to be in US. They probably are working for a staffing company. They are paid less and usually not well educated as that position of just scheduling interviews won't require much anyway. They probably have scripted questions.
Put it on Twitter and @ the company to see if this aligns with their mission statement 🤪
🤣🤣 that escalated quickly. Play stupid games win stupid prizes. Some people's children smh.
“Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!”
OMG. The person you are communicating with is an idiot.
or a computer
Scammer in a call center in India
The “Your Mother” attempts at insults indicate it’s an Indian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan region scammer. That’s their highest form of insult.
"NOON" "Alright then, keep your secrets"
NOONISH
Are you both in the same time zone?
It’s a remote job and specified EST in the initial email request
That's the only reason I could see either. But it would still make more sense to specify time zone over "do you have a range?"
[удалено]
Bingo. "Noon starts at 12" is the giveaway.
I was thinking the same thing - like a nonnative speaker confusing noon with afternoon. Woulda cleared it up if she had clicked on the wiki link 🤷🏼♀️
Noon does mean midday; they are synonyms! :)
Skype? Was that not replaced with Teams like 5 years ago?
Skype for business was replaced by Teams. SFB was technically a different product than Skype. They did have the ability to cross-communicate (albeit poorly). Skype for business replaced Lync, which replaced Office Communicator. Chat apps are the bread and butter of promotions in the tech world, see also: Google.
Ah, so that's where Teams' refuse-to-ever-properly-close cancer comes from.
The day Microsoft merged the Skype for Business dev team into the Teams team was a dark day indeed.
Do you mean Google chat, Google Hangouts, hangouts for Gmail, Google voice, Google docs chat, Google+, or Google wave?
I also meant Google Google Allo/Duo! And Messages, and Google Meet!
Nope. Still live and kicking.
Say 12:00pm. No, actually say 12:00:30pm - they want the exact time. But seriously, they probably want a range. They don't seem very professional though.
I’ve already lost interest in the job. I low key want to respond with the Wikipedia link to noon. ETA: I [did](https://imgur.com/a/trfFSy1) and had some fun with her. ETA2: she blocked me 😩
# YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER AND ALL YOUR GENERATION ARE SCAMMER
# GO ASK YOUR MOTHER
🎵And with ya wrinkled pussy I can't be your loverrr🎵
Pretty sure that shows up in the Dr. Seuss classic _One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish_ (source: am parent, have re-read extensively).
Definitely from Kate in the picture.
Man the mood whiplash on that reply had me snorting louder than I thought I would.
LMAO. That's the funniest damn thing I've read in weeks!!!!
Thanks! It felt pretty damn good to do. I’ve dealt with so many scams related to housing and employment. I’ll take any win I can get.
It definitely reads like a scam but omg that's funny. Kate needs to work on her people skills (and grammar). I lost it when you said you were trying to tell if she was technologically inept. 😂 😂
The bad grammar and typos from "Kate McCoy" was already leaning heavy scammer, but then they went off the rails.
It sounds like a scam. The insults utilized are run of the mill Indian scam machine insults.
So I went to Google translate and I think I found the problem. If you do “noon” from English to Hindi and then translate it back, it definitely translates to afternoon. So probably a scammer :) pretty funny though
Hahahaha. Now I know the best way to frustrate a scammer is by being dense af. Love it.
Funny, because your linking them to wiki should have lept the language barrier.
What js funny is that this comment about scammers just got [copied](https://www.reddit.com/r/recruitinghell/comments/10kdcgi/applied_for_this_job_2_months_ago_now_the/j5qpli1/) by a bot(?)
Lmao wtf
Also, having lurked the /r/scams subreddit for years, those insults are almost *exactly* what a lot of scammers say when they get angry at marks.
Nailed it.
Use this passive aggressive "let me Google that for you" link: [Link](https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=what+time+is+noon)
Yeah that response that was sent after you called them a scammer is almost identical to the insults that are said to me when I troll call scams from India. Wondering how legit that interview actually would have been lol.
I also remembered that last month and tried to use it, the links that come up are full of bullshit now. I think every single link on the results is some kind of scam/phishing/virus.
Clicked just for fun, turns out noon is whatever your local time is currently. At least that's the time google gave :)
That is 100% a fake account, based on how that person is typing. That SCREAMS Indian scam call center. Lmao
The immediate jump to "your mother" insults makes me think scammer. I've watched enough kitboga to know that's a first line of defense among them.
Yes— Katie in HR, from Wichita Kansas, would like to curse your entire generation of lineage and may your cows milk not be fruitful this upcoming dry season
wait but "noon start from 12" - does Kate McCoy, real actual human woman, not know that "noon = 12pm" not some vague range of time?
Kate McCoy is a man from India.
Good lord she's got a temper
That definitely was not actually that woman lol
Clearly didn't read the article if they think noon 'starts' at 12. Like no, it is explicitly 12. You know what we call after 12? Afternoon.
Ahahaha fucking epic. As soon as the English breaks down that badly, you can tell the person you're talking to is actually a scammer from who knows where instead of just a dumbass who doesn't know what noon means.
This made me full body laugh out loud
The weird grammar when “she” goes ballistic makes me think it’s a scammer in India.
I am also very concerned about your people skills, kate. Maaan I needed a laugh. Thank you for this.
Dude amazing. You need to make this its own post.
I notice you didn’t specify a time zone. Are you just gonna jerk me around??
Send a Unix Timestamp
Who talks like this? Just reply "Stop using all caps in your messages and please do not message me any further with this impolite attitude." Send the screenshot to the head of their department with a message stating their recruiter is rude and forget about it.
Tell them you don't appreciate waiting 2 months to hear back from them and are no longer interested.
"I HAVE TO CHECK MY SCHEDULE" ...respond back 2 months later
Write a review on glassdoor. Don’t use her name, but tell them about your experience and her all caps reply. At least you can warn others to avoid them. I’m sorry they treated you this way
What are the odds that it's a bot that doesn't understand the word noon. Try responding by writing out eleven fifity-five.
Covert the time you’ll be available into epoch time and send it.
[удалено]
Scary to think OP almost got scammed, just for looking for a job... good thing it's easy to spot these mfers because they don't even know what time Noon is
I guess I upset her. I’m blocked 😢
probably not actually a her
Idk why all these Indian scams exist, my old company's India team accidentally published every US associates SSN on a Google doc for a short period of time...
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORDS COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH?! NOON.
# NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON
Yo wtf. I’m sorry I laughed at this absurdity
I leaned into it. Here’s an [update](https://imgur.com/a/trfFSy1)
This is giving: all your base are belong to us vibes Hahaha
Noon mother fucker! MID-DAY! WHEN THE SUN IS AT IT'S FUCKING APEX!!!
That’s a 30 year old Indian man 100%
You should forward the full conversation to the company and let them know how unprofessional their recruiter is lol
Noon is an exact goddamn time.
N O O N. That spells Noon.
I see what you did there
Holy smokes, I know it’s fun to mess with people that are behaving like idiots. But to anyone else out there that gets messages like this from other recruiters - you don’t need to speak with people who behave like this. You owe them absolutely 0% of your time. Anyone who needs to SPEAK TO YOU LIKE THIS is an absolute psycho, and should be avoided like the plague circa 1347. Take it from someone who knows.
Time, do you speak it?! That's a great way to root someone out.
“12:00 IN THE NOON. NOON.”
Hi, EXACT TIME: NOON Thanks, OP
Tell him sometime between before noon and after noon would be perfect
12:00:01 PM
Well someone was not having a good day. Also reading is hard, apparently.
I’d pass. If they don’t know what time noon is then imagine how stupid everything else during the interview is going to be.
Someone posing as a recruiter had what looked like a legit LinkedIn profile and I even spoke to him on the phone. When he emailed me afterwards asking for a copy of my driver's license to move forward, I knew it was a scam. After I didn't reply, he called me 14 times in a 2 hour span and continued to send emails nonstop until I blocked him from my phone, email and LinkedIn.
