Type of a scam Employment
I received a text message asking if I was still intrested in work. I responded that I was and was told that there is a job opportunity for the customer service, Data entry and administrative assistant. I have already seen a few of these type of scams so I knew what to look for. The grammar of the text messages in some cases was not good. I was told the interview could be done on Google hangouts or Skype. Once I had added of the hiring manager I had to provide this person a specific code given to me by the original person of the text of me. I asked for the website twice, Once given I researched the website and more specifically looked at careers section and found no job related to what I was being told about. In my experience the next step would have been a very very generic interview then being told that my information and answers to the questions were being and off to corporate. I did not even let it get that far.
