Scam Description
I have actually been contacted by these people before. Once saying they saw me on Zip Recruiter and now through Indeed. They text you naming the “company” and then the positions available, which is very generic. Once you say you are interested, they ask you to do a chat interview. Once there, they ask generic questions, but then they ask what institution you bank with “so secretary can set up your profile.” In this particular instance they originally stated the company name was Copel Energy, but then said it was an electrical company. I advise, if you run into this situation, perform your own due diligence. Look up the company on the job board, look to see if there is a website, and ask them to provide you with an address and landline phone number. If they don’t do that, report them immediately to the company and job board.
