These are scammers trying to reach out and get information from you, they want recordings of you saying your name, "yes" or other personal identifying phrases. This is the initial script they used with me, please note they may use another name: Hi, this is Chris with Valued Merchants. We found your resume online, was just reaching out to set up a time for us to speak in detail about the positions we have open. Uh, if you're still looking for work, of course. You can reach me back at 208-948-3555. Again, that's 208-948-3555. Thank you. [BBB Scam Type: Employment] [Business: Valued Merchants] [Location: NJ, USA- 07827]

They called and left a voicemail posing as the owner of the company. I looked this up online and other people have received this exact same voicemail from this phone number and the phone number does not match the number on the website. The voicemail- “Hi this is Chris with valued merchants we found your résumé online was just reaching out to set up a time for us to speak in detail about the positions we have open if you're still looking for work of course you can reach me back at 208-948-3555.” [BBB Scam Type: Employment] [Business: Valued Merchants] [Location: NJ, USA- 08805]
