This is legitimate and reputable company, this office is in charge of the recruitment process for the company. You do not expect the company to expose the employees to anonymous caller.

I fully understand your total concerns towards this, but I want to let you know that you have nothing to be worried of at all, this firm has been operating this way for years and within the past years we built up a great reputation across the globe, so everything we tell you here is true.. We do not carry out illegal operations on here as all we do is strictly legitimate and nothing else…Many employees went through this same process you’re about to follow and nothing negative happened but instead something great and they are working and earning well successfully here.. Do you understand?
Yes
