A Tale of 2 (maybe 3)Sketchy Companies

I had been thinking of doing a part two to my prior post: Job Hunt Warnings Signs here is that post.

In my further adventures of looking for a day job, I decided to document being contacted by two companies who recently reached out to me. This will be a long and image-heavy post, so please be aware before diving in.

Before we get started, I want to STRESS. These could be totally legitimate companies, but they have red flags galore. Beyond doing this research and typing this up to help others look out for warning signs, these are not worth my time to respond to or interact with.

With that being said, I hope this can provide some clues to help you spot and avoid wasting your time when “companies” like this reach out to you.

All of this occurs on May 29th, 2024

I am starting in the middle as I want to start with the singular firm that contacted me second and then move backward to what I assume are two companies. However, they give the vibe that they are the same company with multiple DBAs(Doing Business As).
