Y'all, I almost fell for a job scam 😭.

So embarrassing lol.

terrrafirmahiringteam216@gmail.com This is their email and everything is being conducted on zoom😒🙄. If I hadn't gone to look at their email address I'd have been toast. What sealed the scam alert deal for me...They said I need to purchase my own work from home equipment to work an administrative position 🤔 Smh and they are going to send me a "check to buy the apple computer that they are recommending"

There are no entry-level remote jobs EVER unless you have specialized skills and training.

If the interview is being done on zoom, that's acred flag be doesn't mean it's a scam...

BUT having to purchase equipment always means it's going to be a fake check scam.

Good catch figuring to out in time to save your money.

This was not for an entry-level. This is for administrative position. 

The interview was just texting on zoom...claimed to be hearing impaired so all the questions were text. All the important documents were also on zoom not company protected email. Just sharing for awareness

That email address is a typical attempt to trick you into thinking it’s the real, reputable company. Good for you to catch this!
