My sister law got hired with this job and it seems very fishy to me and my husband when she was talking about it. They wanted her to buy a phone and laptop and they would pay her back. Okay for some jobs that is very normal but I didn’t think so for data entry. What really got us was they wanted to sign up two other people to her cell phone account. Does that sound fishy or what? She called and talked to the women that is doing the training. Now fast forward a week later to now. Do you know what happed? They took over a thousand of dollars from her and my brothers bank account. Which means they can’t pay me the $150 they do bi weekly for watching my nephew. She says they got hacked. I’m over here thinking you didn’t get hacked you let them have information to take money from you duh! You do stupid stuff then your money gets taken.

Some people do not take the time to check into things, that is too bad she lost the money.

That's too bad she didn't check into it better before losing that money.

I agree with you. She said they the company was hacked which means they hacked into her bank account.

Who in their right mind would actually think that was a legit thing to do for a job? There's no way that I would allow other people to be on my accounts, without me knowing who they were. This thing had SCAM written all over from the get-go.

I couldn’t agree with you more. Big red flag and I shouldn’t for a data entry job need to get retain cell phone or laptop. I can understand a work phone but it would be me picking for a list they should have provided with on me on it.

Oh noooo, I think the moment they begin asking for unusual information it's time to get away from the situation
