Type of a scam Employment
Someone named Jane Scott from Bitcoin core sent me am email this morning claiming to have seen my resume on indeed and wants to have a phone interview with me. However, after examining the document attached to the email, I noticed that this company tried really hard to look legit but there was no address for a physical location or a phone number to contact. So I decided to look up the company on bbb and discovered that it doesn’t exist.
Here’s the email they sent me,

I was asked to download the position Description for further details. They did include a business registration number in order to look legit, was vague about physical location and stated that I won’t be paid until after 30 days – that was a red flag for me, considering what I have heard other people say abt scam job offers.
