The new company I’m at now sent me an email from an email address that was HR@companyName.careers saying I was accepted for the position. They gave me paperwork to fill out and sign to accept the position
I fill out the paperwork and send it back to them and it goes through… then a few days later I go back to the email to say something else and I get this…?
Then today I got a check from the company In the mail to setup my home office, and it’s signed by someone I’ve never met before or heard of…?
What…..








There are a lot of new scams taking advantage of remote work. Connect with your manager - that is super sketchy esp. if it’s a general mailbox (which looks like it is). If it was a name,
people come and go; but the fact it’s a general email raises a flag. Hopefully it’s just a glitch or something!

Then you can start getting some details about the company.
You should name and shame so others don't fall forgot also
