Type of a scam Employment
I received this offer this week. From the beginning I suspect this is scam.?. Received a call from HR from the NY phone number. Then an interview call from the same number and at the end when I had questions and the lady said she can’t answer any of my company questions because she is a Psychologist. I would have to speak to HR for company questions.
Below are emails from the company and I did do the job application on the company website giving my name, address and DOB.
