Connor Tumbleson

Yep, definitely that. And I'm talking to some co-workers at the same time during this because we're just all sitting around because they're all at this point involved in the story. And I couldn't stay on mute any longer. It was just really, really rough. I thought I could sit there and just listen to information. But I turned my camera on and kind of just started talking.

And I said, hey, I'm the real Connor Tumbleson. So who are you? And I didn't get, I think, more than five, 10 words out of my mouth. And he just dropped the call. which was pretty sad because I really wanted to figure out if we could have just a candid conversation of why this was happening. But he left the call immediately. What was going through your mind after that interview?

What was going through your mind after that interview?

Just the fact that another Conor joined the call, a fake me, I was so confused because I was under the impression initially that this guy I was talking to, Andrew, had ended up joining the call and going forward with this. And I was like, why would he do that? He just leaked it all to me. I couldn't really figure out in my head how there was actually someone joining the call.

Yeah, exactly. So at that point, I'm talking to the interviewer again because the other Connor has left the call. I was like, hey, do you mind just sending me everything you have? I was asking for who applied, how did he apply, etc. This guy goes, yeah, sure. Can I have your e-mail address? I was like, hey, just take the e-mail they gave you and take the two off the end of it.

it was such an embarrassingly copied email. It was just my email with a number two at the end. So sure enough, this company, they then email me and it's just screenshots of Upwork. And it's, this is where I got way more creeped out is it was a fake Upwork of me. And once again, it was a highly detailed resumes accomplishments.

They even had like a random Laravel certification I got from a few years ago. And I didn't even put that on anywhere except in a tweet. So I was like, This is a crazy amount of detail that someone went to to make a real truthful, but also exaggerated in a lot of regards, Upwork account of me.

Yeah. And I think I honestly had never really used Upwork or, you know, only slightly heard of it myself at the time. So I was also Googling, what is this thing? And yeah, just as you described, it seemed like It was just an ad hoc applying to a job as an individual using my fake information.

So at this point, now that I have screenshots of my fake Upwork account, including my real photo that was like a recent work photo, I was like, okay, this is getting really crazy now. I thanked the interviewer for really letting me sit on the call. I said, thanks for this info and took all that info and then wrote another large email to Andrew where I honestly asked him, was that you on the call?

Because I really had no idea what was going on at this point because I couldn't really figure out how a third Connor joined the call. And Andrew, after he gets back from class, actually responds and he gives me a ton of information. He not only sends me every email that he, you know, went back and forth with this Marist person to like establish this fake employment.

But he also sends me screenshots of all these Slack channels where he only joined that day as, you know, part of joining this kind of paid work thing. So now I basically have Upwork screenshots, Slack screenshots, and email screenshots.
