Description
Applied for an admin assistant position through indeed. Company is called Vegan-Digital. You have to use the - or you can't find it anywhere. Monthly salary is 2500. Part time. Training is a month long but if you finish you get paid. Here's where it gets weird. 1 Company is supposedly based in Hong Kong and is starting to make roots here. 2 They prefer payments from clients/customers through bitcoin. Although they offer wire transfer from bank account to bank account as well. 3 Today this trainer said I would need to open a business account with a more prominent bank than the credit union I use because in order to process customers payments, that money gets deposited to me first where I would then put it into the company bitcoin account... I started getting suspicious when bitcoin even got brought up. But I can't find a single thing about this company besides the website. No reviews, good or bad, anywhere. So I thought well I'm already unemployed and still looking for a job so "training" for this for 4 hours a day isn't necessarily going to make a difference. That and the longer the training has gone on, it started seeming pretty legit. Then I went on the Internet and saw that multiple others had been scammed or went through this/never received pay for the training and almost were imprisoned for wire fraud due to this job.
