Simoon LLC / Simon LLC

Simoon LLC — also catalogued in chat as Simon LLC — confirmed the scheme in three words. Zhenya / Simon, asked whether the position was 1099 after the applicant disclosed LLC without SSN, replied: "Hello, yes, it's on 1099". The applicant had already identified himself as having an LLC but no Social Security Number. The reply confirmed 1099 as the engagement type without further inquiry. The three-word answer "да, это на 1099" ("yes, it's on 1099") was the acceptance of the LLC-as-SSN-substitute arrangement and a simultaneous confirmation that the company's standing hiring structure accommodates applicants with no work authorization. The conversation proceeded immediately to experience and certifications, which is what conversations between real hiring managers and real applicants look like after the gatekeeping question has been dispatched.

The public-side of the operation runs under a second Telegram account — Semen Ivuts. His recruiting post for AT&T KS/NE/IA/MN positions lists day-rate ranges — Top hand $400–500, Second hand $275–350, Helper $200–275 — with no public disclosure of LLC or work-authorization requirements. Semen's recurring posts for "Nokia to Ericsson Swap projects (AT&T)" in the Nebraska/Iowa corridor run continuously across months, funneling applicants into the same private DM channel where Zhenya's three-word 1099 confirmation is the answer. One chat contributor alleged Semen was quoting $160–170/day without experience — below the publicly-advertised range — and Semen denied the allegation publicly; the accuser did not produce receipts. Allegation stands, corroboration absent; the lower-end rate conversation happening at all matches the dual-rate pattern seen elsewhere in the supply chain.

The alternate-name confirmation is worth one sentence. In a separate chat exchange, the company is referenced as "Simon LLC" — "It's just Simon LLC" — confirming the two brand names as alternate aliases for the same entity. Two LLCs, two recruiters, one hiring sort.

AT&T contracts the Nokia-to-Ericsson swap work that flows through Simoon / Simon LLC; Ericsson is the integrator delivering the new equipment, Nokia the integrator whose equipment is being removed. AT&T, Ericsson, and Nokia could check, against their own certification systems, whether the workers Simoon submits closeouts on are credentialed for the climb and authorized to perform it. They have not. They know.
