Description

I received a text message from Marcus Jones from Egis Pharmaceuticals PLC offering me a work at home job. I was told that I would do an online interview with a recruiter named Anna B Mata. I was then directed to Zoom to do an online meeting that took place by text. I was asked general interview questions and given information about potential job opportunities. They listed they where hiring 16 people in the US as this was a company based in Budapest Hungry and they where expanding to the US and Canada. They needed a 1000 employees before they could open a US location. They offered me a job right away after completing the interview and wanted to confirm my contact information. They also said I would need to setup a home office and I would be sent a check to use for expenses. I would need to buy a laptop and various software packages to be ready to start work by Friday. I also received an offer letter with an authorization request for a background check and a w-4 form to fill out for payroll. No official company website was used to create a profile and I cannot confirm that this Anna person works for this company. I also found that this company isn’t even hiring right now. Also in the offer letter it says I would work directly under her and not someone from the home office. I did give my name and address and phone number but stopped there once I was told they where going to send funds for me to make purchases.
