Description
I saw a job ad on LinkedIn and applied. I received an email from the email provided. They set up an interview via Slack and the first red flag was it was a text interview. They sent a website where I had to send them personal information (SSN and ID). I unfortunately was naive and did so hoping that this wasn't a scam. They were convincing and at first glance so is their website. They then wanted me to use ID.me and a scammer prior had tried to get me to use that. I let them know I wouldn't do any of that until I had an interview via video and could ensure it wasn't a scam. They did not receive a response to that. Attached is the conversation. https://app.slack.com/client/T06LUPL3AN6/C06L7BUFR3Q?cdn_fallback=2&skip_onboarding=1
