Today I received a job alert from a Russian job site, https://moikrug.ru/, which I do use to get job alerts. The job title was "Application Security Engineer", and it looked like I almost qualify. So, I decided to go to the company page behind the offer, and look what else they do.
Result: they do a lot of interesting research, and they also have a "jobs" page, which is empty. Also, the job offer that I have received contained some links to Google Docs, and an email address not on the company's domain, which looked quite non-serious for a company of that size.
So, I went to the "contact us" page, and called their phone. The secretary was unaware of the exact list of the currently opened positions, but told me that all official offers would be on a different job site, https://hh.ru/. It lists 8 positions, but nothing related to what I have received, and nothing for what I have the skills. So, we have concluded that I have received a fake job offer from impostors that illegally used the company name.
Conclusion: please beware of such scams, even from big and reputable job sites.
