On February 6, this notice appeared on a Craigslist.org Washington DC job board: 

Job Opportunities for Recently Laid-Off US Government Employees

Wavemax Innovation Co, Ltd

The linked advertisement included the following language:

As many dedicated public servants are facing job transitions, we are proud to extend a warm invitation to those affected by recent layoffs to explore exciting new career opportunities with us. 

At Wavemax Innovation Co, Ltd, we value the experience, skills, and commitment that government employees bring to the workforce. We are actively seeking talented professionals with backgrounds in project management, research, technology, communications, policy analysis, etc to join our team.

Wavemax Innovation claims to be a Singapore-based company. But according to a May 16 reportby Max Lesser, a senior analyst on emerging threats at the Washington-based think tank Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD), it is likely a dummy company. And it is part of a broader network of websites, LinkedIn pages, and job advertisements from fake consulting and headhunting firms used by Chinese intelligence to target former government employees and artificial intelligence researchers worldwide.
