Type of a scam Employment
The person who claimed to hire me was *** ***. They offered me a job of remote executive manager right away without any interview process. They preferred using email and telegram messaging to communicate. They asked me to provide my email address, phone number, and a picture of my license. They said to begin, I had to sign a labour agreement for a 10 day trial period. At this point I was getting very suspicious. On the first day of the trial period they wanted to discuss things over the phone. So I agreed to see if my instincts were correct. Turns out, they were. A man called, didn’t state his name, said I had to complete a task in a timely manner and had many grammatical errors throughout the phone call. The first task was to sign up for various websites including, https://localbitcoins.com and https://squareup.com, and to receive money from their company to my bank account, via online Merchant, and convert it to bitcoins for their clients. Then, without me even completing the task, they said I qualify for a senior position that pays $2000/week. Very suspicious. I wanted to be certain it was a scam so I did some research on potential scams and checked through their company website. It was full of grammatical errors, vague descriptions, few reviews and on their events page they said they conduct courses in Hyderabad (India). So I sent them a message saying "oh you hold events in Hyderabad, that’s great! It’s in India, right?" And they haven’t replied yet.
I’m almost certain this is a scam or even worse, phishing so please everyone be careful! And I hope the authorities get involved to put an end to it.
