Scam Description
I have been applying for remote jobs lately through dozens of sites such as Indeed and LinkedIn. A male individual had contacted me through email and phone by the name of “Lee Wade” for an administrative remote position, to which I scheduled an interview for that listed only 15 minutes. Supposedly, “trafficmedia.io” is a company stationed out of Hong Kong looking to strengthen their business into the North American market and are looking to fill positions quickly. At the end of my initial interview, Mr. Wade had asked me to conduct a background check by confirming the individual he was chatting with was me so we could process my employment. He wanted me to take a clear picture of myself self holding my driver’s license. He also had asked me to take a pic of me holding my social security card. I never did anything he asked as the same time before the interview had even started their website came off as very scammy and unprofessional. Please, folks, don’t fall for trafficmedia.io
