Description

I initially received a text from a person pretending to be a recruiter from Setra AB group. I was asked to download the TELEGRAM APP for communication. I was told the following : NOTE: The online job interview will be conducted via IM only. Are you available for the online interview and briefing on the open positions? I was also told: This is a remote position until the branch is commissioned. Work hours are flexible and you can work from anywhere of your choice. The pay rate is $28.75 per hour during working hours and $18.75 per hour during training hours. You will be getting your payment weekly or bi-weekly via check or direct deposit while working 35 to 40 hours weekly (7 - 8 hours daily). If you are employed, you are going to be working as a permanent/full-time employee and not an independent contractor. NOTE: You can also continue working remotely even after the office is ready. Please let me know if you are still interested so we may proceed with further briefing. I was also told the following: You will need Accounting software programs and a Time Tracker to begin your training and orientation. Most importantly, you need the software to get started with work as soon as possible. NOTE: The work of the time tracker is to evaluate your working hours from the company's server for payment purposes as this will be an online/remote position until the branch is commissioned. Here are the names of the software programs you will need to start work with: Sage 50 Cloud Accounting Software, CYMA IV Accounting Software, MYOB Business Essentials Accounting Software, QuickBooks Pro Accounting Software, and a Time Tracker. Are you familiar with the above software programs?
