I had posted my resume on a career site, and was contacted by them- first gave them my cover letter and resume, then (sparsely) filled out application- was a little leary so didnt include all personal info- just the basics.
I have now been offered a job, without ever directly speaking to anyone- nor have my references or credentials been verified.
it all clearly seems to good to be true- I am skeptical by nature so - of course, I am very apprehensive about a few things....one being- the phone numbers provided in the email, do not match up with the business directory online- however I did try to call the number given online and it is no longer in service, so perhaps the directory just hasnt been updated. I have changed my search parameters a million times, trying to find a hole in their story- but it's not as clear as I'd like it to be....how do you seasoned scam detectors feel about this????
here is the letter I received.
