Very similar job offer through Facebook Messenger.
Same information as above. There were three or four messages from her and when I went back to the chat, the profile was deleted and I could not reply to the chat.
Name was Thea Albertson. The profile was viewable when I got the first message and appeared to be a real person in the US, as she had a few normal looking posts with comments from friends.

I agreed to have another online interview today at 9AM. This offer seems to good to be true almost unrealistic. Please help me determine whether this is a legitimate offer or a fraud.
I just had the same interview for the most part. They want my bank log in and password. I find that extremely sketchy and will not provide that. Has anyone continued on and actually received the money?
I just got an interview with 90% of the same words used, just for a different position. Now they want my credit card info to “deposit money” to my account to purchase equipment I need for the job working at home… sounds like a scam.
What was your result? I’ve actually gone through an interview myself and it feels the same for me…to good to be true.
