Someone is impersonating us in a recruiting scam
How did the "candidates" actually get scammed? Did the bad actors steal their personal information and commit fraud?
I don't understand what scammers get out of doing this. How do they make money?

With us, they would have the candidates purchase their own hardware from a custom store and then “reimburse” them.

By getting acct and routing numbers they can easily siphon money.
