Description
I received a text asking if I was interested in a payroll part time position for $950 a week. Then I got an email to have me complete an employment form. It did ask for address and driver's license which I included. Also it asked me to google the closest crypto atm machine, which I did. That seemed odd for an employment application. Then I got a text indicating that communication was critical in this position and it indicated that they would be sending texts or emails in the next 24 - 72 hours and make sure that I respond. Today, 8/26, I got a text and email that I was approved for the job and they sent an agreement letter for me to sign and send back along with a copy of my driver's license. At this time, I didn't think that this was legitimate. Especially when a VP of operations is doing the emailing and hiring when they have a recruitment team. Also, the letter was signed from the President of the company. They used letterhead, but it looks suspicious. I am turning down the offer.
