Description

I had a job interview. They said I needed to get a bank account besides an online account. So I did. Then the guy was upset because I didn't go to a specific bank and open an acct. He said it was so I could work in payroll. He asked for my direct deposit voided check form from bank to get me started and that an employment letter and equipment would be mailed to me. All I opened the acct with was 20.00 and he wanted access to it. There were several red flags I noticed. 1 the email address was at outlook and not a company domain. He got upset when I asked for company website so I could send my direct deposit form to HR dept. And when he finally gave me the website, looked on Google maps for the location and it was just a plowed field. The number to call was his personal cell and the business number was WHATS APP. He sent me a text at 6:30am on a Saturday morning trying to pressure to get this bank account he was upset I didn't get. And he was telling me of this very lucrative hrly wage I would be getting and if I worked 2 positions I would get double pay for 9hrs a week. It didn't add up. The more I questioned the guy about normal questions a new hire would ask, the more upset he got. Any legit company would be asking me to go to their website for most everything. The guy finally told me to terminate this completely, good riddens and good luck. I want to report this as a scam.
