Type of a scam Employment
A text message came in asking me to start a Google hangout with a [email protected] from Osmosis – Knowledge Diffusion. They said they found my resume on Indeed/ Linkedin and that I might be a good fit for a remote data entry position. There is a Hunter Workman listed on the Osmosis website as a recruiter. After asking me some general interview questions, they said I was a good fit, although it didn’t seem right. The person never asked for my resume, details were changing, and there were many grammatical and punctuation errors and other strange things about it such as saying my supervisor would be a Mr. Shirley Tigner. They said a check would come to me so that I could purchase the office equipment that would be needed to set up my home work station. I contacted Osmosis – Knowledge Diffusion and they haven’t gotten back to me yet. They asked for my bank name (I declined) and also asked for my general information (name, address, phone, email) after they "offered" me the job so that they could give it to their "secretary’s department."
