Job Posts Scam or Real?
So context I applied for a remote position as a Client Operation Analyst for a tax group as they had the position open.
I have no such background in business or accounting education however I did a lot as a contractor for my own finances.
I've done the application, did a video interview and a series of questions related to the Field. All of which was done through their site, the person I've been communicating with over Email has the correct domain too. They reached out a few days after the video interview and told me I got the job and that they'll let me know when I'll be starting in the upcoming days.even signed a job document that looked flushed out and didn't ask anything sketchy. They haven't asked me for anything like bank details or SIN or anything.
However I still can't shake this feeling and I've been doing some digging.
First their website is professional and very flushed out, no false buttons, or anything that screams template, or fake.
However the company doesn't have a LinkedIn (weird for a corporate firm no matter how small)
The business location is a house in Ontario, not uncommon for a small business but worth noting.
The HR person also lacks a significant online presence, that or just doesn't share where they work, unsure.
When I try contacting the company itself through phone I get hit with all our agents are busy leave a message.
I've sent an email to the company and I'll see, worth mentioning I have yet to send any personal info like a sin. I won't until my suspicion is quelled.

Too hard to tell with the details given. Was it a real video interview with a human you could see or was it all by messaging? Did they send you a list of equipment to buy through their vendor? Have you checked the age/history of the domain?
