Hello guys, I was searching for job and I have sent some applications and received the following email. At the begging I fell for it and did the "interview" and I got "recruited" until they asked me to buy a Time Tracker device (which costs 5$) and send them the money via MoneyGram. Then I almost realised that it was a scam. However, I am curious why the price was just 5$. Btw, it's supposed to pay them on Monday. They also gave me a task to complete until then.
the email:
edit: I also made a research and found out that "Oliver Harris" is a real person and the scammer uses for his google hangouts profile the real picture of the person: <removed link> MW
P.S. : I am new here and I have to say that you are doing a great job!
