It seems any "invite" is actually a scam, usually replying within the hour. Going to reach out to PPH (people per hour)about this as Im sure this is rampant on the platform which is why Im labeling the whole thing a scam, and fyi this is the second attempt of this type. I followed up and asked how I would pay the vendor, He replied BITCOIN or ZELLE. What happens is they do send something but theres a hold or something to it and you dont know this and you go to "buy equipment" that is really going to come out of your money, the check or however they send funds is going to bounce. He is trying to get me to give my account info, they will send funds and I will basically forward those funds. And I wouldn't have to send anything back but I would have to only buy products from their vendor BAM THE GIG IS UP Its a scam. # No company has a text interview process # Only scammers will ask you to download additional software/apps for communication # Names like "John Anderson" are as golden as John Doe on a cloudy day! So I asked will I be asked to send a portion of this check back (as many scams entail that scheme) HE said no I actually can get it sent to my credit card. REDFLAG RUNDOWN #No foreign company is paying 35/hr for a virtual assistant that takes a text interview process after the "interview" that he said I must answer the questions in 45 mins, I was told to send my info to First name/address/email/phone- super basic I intercepted to ask why, he said they would be sending me a check for equipment.They did some research and learned about recruiting software like Five9 and other softwares they mention that you will need to purchase to make this sound familiar and legit, mainly an employer gives you credentials not asks you to literally purchase they software. They don't ask for personal info upfront as to not be a giveaway. Very basic interview questions but its totally irrelevant so dont deep dive its just a distraction. Jason instructs me to answer, in text, some questions as part of the "interview" process. Always some basic "American" name (these are foreigners who think they are smarter than you). I downloaded the app just to learn their way and it goes like this, they message you in this case I got "Jason Michaels". You are sent an invitation to submit offer, you submit, your sent instructions (FROM PEOPLE PER HOUR) that this client requests you to download the "Wire secure message" app to communicate RED FLAG ONE An employer should never request you download additional app to communicate when you are already communicating on a platform. This platform seems like a great opportunity however SCAM ALERT! I am a recruiter and know the hiring process, I am currently messaging someone claiming to have a virtual assistant position with "Sun Parma" or Sun Pharmaceuticals for $35/hr lol Right!
