Cordially, Recruiting Team I noticed the mispelled words, suspicious grammer, but was curious and clicked the link. The next red flag was finding out the purpose of the link was not to schedule a future interview, but to conduct an online text interview on the spot. I went through with the text interview with them stating that video/webcam is not needed and the head of he HR Dept. will be looking at my responses as I submit them. I was sent a list of interview questions and was told to write (DONE) at the end of series of responses. Some interesting interview questions included: Who do you bank with? (for pay check purposes) and to provide your full name and location. After, I responded to the questions, I was told that I scored 84%, was hired, and I would start training. I asked what were the next steps and was told I would be contacted about the training. No date or time was provided. On Tues., 07/15/25, I received a microsoft team message stating...Are we connected? I realized it was a scam and did not proceed forward.
