Type of a scam Employment
I think this may be an email scam started because I looked at a Start Jobs HR job listing and the only button that I could click to get out of their job search applied me to multiple job listings, though I can’t know exactly how this was originated. The fishy part came because I wasn’t provided any details about the "company" or asked to take any assessments at all AND you notice some of the language (grammar) doesn’t make sense. Finally, I researched the name of the company and found none with the name, no website even associated with these email domains. Then I received an attached contract as a reply to my request for more details. Email thread follows:
I first was sent an email from Margaret Lane stating:

I received an email from an "Amy Beard" that was very vague regarding a job offer for a remote "Assistant Manager" position. I had not applied for the job I was being offered directly, but thought it was possible that my name and resume were found on a job board. I found it VERY suspicious that I would be offered a position without ANY form of interview or personal contact first. Curiously, I replied asking for more information. At that point, I received another slightly less vague (though very much an impersonal form letter) from "Susan Johnson" that stated the name of the company and a few additional details regarding benefits and training expectations, etc. This email also included a PDF that requested personal information and my signed agreement. I replied to that email as well, only asking that I be removed from whatever email list they had me on. The copy of my two emails is below:
Email #1 – Our Corporation is pleased to extend an offer to you for the position of Assistant Manager. We believe you will be an excellent addition to our team and are very much looking forward to having you on board.
Your salary will be $48,600 per year and will be paid on a bi-monthly basis. This is a full-time, home-based position, schedule: 9 am to 5 pm, you should not move or relocate. Additionally, we will provide full
medical and dental coverage coverage through our company’s employee benefit plan, sick vacation and three weeks of paid vacation. Your starting date will be next business day after we get completed employment paperwork .
Assistant Manager Job Duties: delegating tasks to employees; keeping day-to-day activities organized; create reports; managing projects as assigned, etc.
If you choose to accept this job offer, please send your number and email and reply to this email at your earliest convenience. Please note that this offer will expire on March 10th.
We look forward to welcoming you to our team!
