Connor Tumbleson

Yeah, so I'm Connor Tumbleson. I'm just kind of an engineer here in Tampa, kind of really gone up the steps over the years. I think I'm our director of engineering now, so I kind of just really do a lot of tech stuff.

Yeah, I mean, it's crazy. I'm sitting at lunch, you know, and your phone goes off and I get just one of those weird subject titles that I think is just an easily deletable one. I think it word for word was something like, Connor, your identity is stolen.

And I was just like, yeah, this is probably spam because it came from kind of an address I didn't recognize. It looked like a bunch of kind of foreign characters I didn't recognize. And I was like, oh, yeah, this is this is a delete. But then before I deleted, I saw it in an attachment. I was like, OK, I'm on my phone.

This is, I think, probably an easy preview, especially since it was kind of a suspect email. But thankfully, I could just preview it and I previewed it and it was like my resume, but it wasn't. I was like, this is really odd.

I kind of just quickly ate my lunch, you know, and kind of ran back to my computer and just jumped on to view it, you know, in Gmail. And at that point when I expanded it for real, I saw it was way more than like my resume. It was like an introduction of me from like a, I was really rough reading it from very first inspection because it was like someone trying to pretend they were me.

It was like an introduction of me from like a, I was really rough reading it from very first inspection because it was like someone trying to pretend they were me.

Because not only was the email just clearly wrong, but the address was like an address that was for sale on Zillow kind of right around where I live. Then it was my resume. Then it was like information about a company. And then it was information of like a fake cover letter I wrote. And at this point, I'm thinking, holy cow, what is going on here?

Because now I think this is actually legitimate because there's someone that's put a great deal of effort into taking a lot of my true, you know, like earned achievements, whatever, school, everything, but then mixed it with a bunch of things that are lies, which I think, funny enough, boosted my resume in a way. But, yeah, they weren't true.

But, yeah, they weren't true.

It was just a mixture of lies and truth in a huge document.

Yeah, so it was weird. He was telling me that there was this guy, Maris, and it's just a guy that was hiring him to be an engineer. And I was like, OK, what does that have to do with me? And then he says, like, you know, in the next sentence in the email, he's like, it turns out I was supposed to pretend to be you and I didn't feel comfortable with it and sent me the doc.

So I read that, I read the doc, and I'm still thinking, this is weird. Because as you just mentioned, like, I'm getting suspicious that the guy just wants me to sign into something, buy something. So I just sent a quick response. And I said, so to get this right, you were hired at a company and then paid to pretend to be me for an interview.
