Is it a scam? Probably...
I filled out a application for a warehouse supervisor position. And about 2 or 3 days later this lady emails me. She said that she had a position for a warehouse supervisor/management position told me the hours of be working and that there was a 400 dollar sign on bonus, she asked if I was okay with that. And if it was okay and the higher ups approved she would send me a employment agreement letter. Sure enough 4 or 5 days later, I get a email congratulating me on joining the firm. And the employee agreement. Which stated 24 weeks of probationary period in which they can fire me without cause and without payment. But the start pay is 87,000 a yr. And after the 24 weeks bumps up to 116,000 a yr. Now I still have to get them a signed employee agreement by the 23rd as to weather I still want to work there. And im suppose to meet someone on the 27th to start. And I forgot to mention the location is confidential and under renovation. So she never told me where to go. And still hasn't told me where it was other then driving distance. Which could be anywhere. I'm pretty sure its a scam but i can't figure out the scam. She said id be recieving a check for my 400 sign on bonus and money to get erp software. She even stated to deposit it and let the check clear both banks. So whats the scam here? What am I missing?
The scam is her getting your bank informatio
DON'T
It could be an elaborate identity theft, or money laundering, or any number of things. Unfortunately, you're probably not going to find out without going further down the rabbit hole. If they can fire you for 24 weeks and not pay you a dime, I'd be skeptical, too! I don't think I would sign an agreement like that, no matter what the nominal pay was supposed to be. I don't work for free, and neither should you.
its scam they do the same to me
I'm beginning to think that most of these job boards Arts them because every time you go to try to apply for a job you're having a recreate
It’s a scam unless the job is union based that’s the only time an employer will ever ask you to pay is to be initiated into the company what that means is that the employer will pay a higher rate for medical, dental and vision benefits on your behalf the only places that I know are Union based are Safeway, Costco, Lowe’s and construction companies don’t get duped into scams look at it this way “If it walks like a duck 🦆 and quacks like a duck 🦆 then I’m am absolutely certain that it is a quack hope this helps on your journey to finding a job
They are going to get your banking info and backdoor a hack into the account and take your money,then your charge cards,etc,etc
Don't CASH THAT CHECK.... IF YOU CASH IT.... THEY WILL HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE AND CHARGE YOU WITH FRAUD....
They stole your personal information. Dont fill out info without verifying its legit
I had similar and it is a scam. They have you cash the check at your banking institute and then stop payment on the check and then it costs you an arm and a leg to pay it back. As Frank Velasco said DON'T!
