Do you think this is a scam?
Okay so I signed up for this receptionist job on craiglist. They emailed me back and all and seemed pretty legit. Now I’m a few steps away from being a official employee with them but before I do that, they requested a few things from me.
They said that they will provide some equipments for me to use on the job, this is an internet data entry job. They will provide a
1. laptop
2. software
They requested the following information from me:
1. How many hours I can work a day
2. What’s the time interval I can work (IE, afternoon, morning, etc)
3. Payroll interval (weekly or bi weekly)
4. Payroll method (bank transfer or check)
They said they’ll give me money via wire transfer to purchase some accounting software and they want my full name, address, telephone number and email.
Is this a scam? They said they’ll send me money to buy things, and they’re not asking for anything in return only to just buy the software I need to do the job.
They said that they’re a new company. They gave me a number, I called it and it seems out of order. They said their website will be under construction and will be done in the next 10 business days. I googled their company and found nothing on it, but it can only be a coincidence right? I mean they are pretty new, that’s what they claim.
Is this a scam?
