okay cool.
i turn on my classical music playlist on spotify and i get to work.
i fill out all the information they need.
they also had some interview questions as well that i answered the best to my ability.
at the end of it,
they asked me when i want to schedule the interview and when can i start work.
yay right?
well don’t “yay” yet.
this comes up after i hit “submit”:
when i googled the ( x company ),
nothing showed up.
i never had a job ask me for my credit score before.
is this the new “thing”?
i thought i’d ask the f-bi first.
something inside me isn’t feelin’ it.
Don’t do it.
know I’m late on this but RUN
They are pfishing.
Do not proceed.
Sorry,
Personally, I wouldn’t advise you to give them any more information. The run on sentences are a red flag. I spotted commas where new sentences were supposed to be started. After residency, it says “in order.” That should be a new sentence. Criminals aren’t the best writers, and job descriptions and any type of instructions have to be error free.
Did they mean Rodgers or Rogers, I can’t.
Where did you hear about this job anyway?
^yeah!
i noticed that too man!
that first sentence especially.
they randomly sent me a email.
i thought maybe it was because i’m on monster,
but the subject email was:
Re: Interview Booking for Receptionist Required
i never got an email to even get a “re”.
It sounds like some type of scam to me. Any reputable company should have an easy way to be contacted.
Yes, be careful. However, some jobs now require credit checks to gain employment. Shyt in the Army, we require one every 5 years in order to maintain your position as well.
^i know about the army,
but for a measly receptionist position?
that was suspect to me.
They did not provide you with an address either, which is even worse.
thanks everyone who answered.
so it has come to this?
we can’t even fill out for jobs without someone trying to scam.
this is like the 2nd scam ive encountered.
the first is me paying 200 in order to get trained.
smh.
Can you go to the company and ask them about it because face to face way better to see if they are lying.
Don’t complete it. It’s a scam. I read about those awhile ago. They set them up to steal your information. They usually post for standard positions like administrative assistants, receptionists, etc.
dont do it
the website looks like one of those websites apollo was allegedly using as a debt collection agency.
lol
Sounds suspicious to me. They don’t have a contact number for you to call. I’ve never had a job ask that. All they should need is your social security number to do a background check.
^when i called the 800 number on the website,
it was a robot that only gave two options.
i dunno how i feel about this jay.
