Description
This was probably one of the better job scammers I have seen. PLEASE BE AWARE. The 1st hint that I knew it was a scammer was the fact that she said “Her parents have your last name and they met in my city 30 years ago. NO ONE has my last name because my ex-husband's family isn’t from around here. And the only other people who live near me with our last name are our relatives. I copy & pasted the emails I received from them. I hope this helps someone!!! I received the email below, from Lisa:: [email protected] “Hi Lauren, I trust this email finds you well! I wanted to update you on the quality control manager position. We have widened our search across the country, and the role is now 100% remote! You'll be working alongside our logistics team in this position as we shift away from standard warehouse practices. The starting salary is $3,200 per month, with performance-based bonuses. Following the initial trial period, you could see a salary increase of as much as 30%. Additionally, you'll get a full benefits package without any additional expense.
