My sister just got a job at Razorfish company as A UI/UX Designer as a remote worker and she agreed to the salary and start date. And they sent her message via Microsoft team and th
said she has to provide the iPad and Samsung to use for the job, but she will be reimbursed and then few minutes later the "HR" lady tells her she could get it on promo with the soft ware program guy on discount. I just want to know if the company is authentic or a scam? Don't want my sis falling into a scam.

Sounds very sketch. It isn't typical for a company to expect you to pay for your own hardware...

That has "scam" in flashing red lights. Sending money to a "friend or family" probably means you can't dispute when the device does not arrive. Tell them you talked to a neighbour and got a bargain through their son and see how fast they drop the conversation.

This right here - assure them it's been purchased directly and the convo will be over

There have been many scams around this, the company should pay for the equipment (they have pre-negotiated prices and services on their corp account) and your sister should not have to be put into a position to for reimbursement unless it is something like a home office bonus (desk, chair, etc) that she would expense later.

I don't work for Razorfish but it is a real agency. If it is not a scam, the HR person will provide an employee with an EPP purchase code or link (via employee portal) to sign up for purchasing items at a discount. I work for an agency and I do receive Apple and Samsung products at discount. I don't purchase them from some software guy. I purchase directly from Apple's and Samsung's EPP stores. The agency wants you to use the discounts so they reimburse you for a lower cost, but there is usually a stipend or a purchase limit for reimbursable tech/WFH expenses. It's not a free for all where I could order a maxed out full spec iPad Pro and get reimbursed. If this person is directing your sister to buy from an individual, click on links that are not from a secure (2FA verified) company website, or provide personal banking details for reimbursement, it's a scam.
