I was contacted through my state job search site that I was to have an interview today for a job as an independent contractor doing data entry at $16 an hour. They were to supply me with a computer, desk, and several other items to do the job. It all sounded too good to be true. Luckily I found the almost exact same scam here on ScamWarners involving Infotech.
Anite PLC is a legitimate company, but these scammers are just using this name now.
