Type of a scam Employment
After applying for a job on Indeed I was contacted by a company called CCT Limited. The company claimed they wanted to hire me as an assistant manager, full time, with a pay rate of $5000 Canadian ($3500 American) per month. I provided the company with my full name, date of birth and address in preparation for this new job. Unfortunately I later discovered through a Reddit article that this company is not legitimate. The company asks you to create a Bitcoin Trading account which they can then access for their own transactional purposes. The name of the person who contacted me from this company is Carla Connolly and she claims to be an HR manager.
I would like to note that this company also uses a Canadian address and claims to be operational in both Canada and the United States. The Canadian address listed by this company is; 308 E 5th Ave E, 2nd floor, Vancouver, BC, V5T 1H4, Canada.
Hello, my friend recently got placed here as assistant manager. he joined without telling us and now I could see this comment about the company. My friend created a bitcoin account it seems for CCT limited. I don’t know what to tell him now. Any advice? Thanks
