Description

I originally received an email stating I was qualified for the available position. They disclosed the pay rate and availability. They asked me to download Zoom, so I did and added the referenced contact in the email, [email protected] which I then connected with through zoom chat. I have the conversation in its entirety saved so I can provide screenshots if necessary. I was immediately prompted to join a zoom call but opted for a delayed time which they accommodated. I had a video interview with Marie, asking surface level and standard interview questions. Afterward, I followed up with Amelia Ben in the Zoom chat once more who asked more surface level and generic interview questions. I was asked what bank I use to ensure compatibility with Acrux for payment. No account information was discussed or anything of that nature. I answered the rest of the questions accordingly and within 10 minutes of doing so, “upon HR reviewing the application and interview answers” they stated I qualified and was considered “Hired”. They then advised of the equipment and asked for my name, mailing address and phone number. After providing that information, they stated that was the end of our discussion for today and then removed me as a contact to where I would have to request Amelia Ben to be a contact to further chat. I am weary that this is the product of a scam and that I am at risk now surrounding personal information and what not. If someone could please assist, promptly, I would greatly appreciate it. I read reviews on Reddit and all over Google that people experienced similar happenings so again, I am now very concerned.
