That's a nice bit of detective work you did. What happened is fraud, and potentially harmful to your reputation. If you can afford it, consider seeking legal remedy. It sounds like the twits running this scam are amateurs and its possible services like Zoom could unveil better leads toward pinpointing the perpetrators if compelled. Google's impersonation policy seems particularly wanting. You could consider reporting to law enforcement as well, for what that might be worth. Thanks for sharing and I hope your story serves as an example to those who are out there hiring to stay alert.
