Hi David ๐ I'm a Lead Recruiter here at Symfa. Thanks so much for sharing your story ๐. Sadly, these kinds of scams, where people pretend to be from legitimate companies, are happening more and more. We've reported these fake profiles pretending to be our employees multiple times, but LinkedIn hasn't done anything to block them. Here are a few things to keep in mind: Symfa and our teams had nothing to do with what happened. Our job postings and interviews only go through official channels. We never give out assignments to complete before a technical interview! To help protect yourself from these schemes: Always double-check the email address โ Symfa emails always end in @symfa.com. Watch out for how the interview is structured: our recruiters and tech folks always turn on their cameras and explain the hiring process step-by-step. If anything seems fishy, reach out to Symfa directly at talent@symfa.com or through our website. We're doing our best to catch and stop these scammers as fast as possible. I would appreciate it if you could provide me with more detailed information. Could you also let me know how I can find you on LinkedIn?
