What has you concerned that it is a scam?
Biggest red flags to look for are:
- interviews only taking place via text or email, never in-person or virtually with a real human
- an immediate offer of employment following an interview
- planning to send you a check for "equipment" and then you get to keep the rest
- asking you to submit confidential confirmation (social security number, address, date of birth, etc.) prior to an offer
- companies will ask you for the information above to complete a background check and stuff but it should be through a secure portal and most often is through a third party vendor (ADP and First Advantage come to mind).
