Description
Was offered a remote job interview while I had been applying for others and assumed it was something I applied to. Seemed somewhat legitimate, they pulled the vice presidents name of the company for their email, but in their “offer” they mention that for my training they will send a “check” for me to buy company goods with. Huge red flag. I did research and stopped responding and noticed some details. 1. Email is [email protected] and when referencing the business they use the STERLING CONSTRUCTION CO. On that businesses site, their groups name is Sterling Infrastructure Inc. 2. They asked for who I banked with in their “interview” questions, “so they could know what payroll group to put me under.” Stupidly, I fell for this one and supplied it with a link to the site. That is the only bank related info I lost thank goodness. 3. In their final email to me that ticked me off, they state they will send a “company check” to me to show I can “buy goods” under the company name when that has nothing to do with the position offered.
