Fake job offered fraud

stampa

I was interviewed for a job that offered good wages and did not require any experience. The Company does not have an office in Dublin and on there poor website they present themselves like an International Company with over 10 years in business. I feel that it is some fake job fraud. Can any one advise me? or any ideas? should I report?

The fact that no experience is required rings alarm bells .

The 2 things that should cause you to run a mile are -

1) If they seek your bank account details / PPS number / Passport before you start 'working' for them.

2) If they seek any sort of payment up front for ' training ' etc.

They may be legitimate but tread carefully. What exactly is the job ? What is their business ?

What was the role ?

Job apperently is to check stock in retail outlets for fake goods. There is no contract and I would be "self employed"

Delancey

Sounds a little too good to be true if I may say so.

I would have severe doubts that you would get a 40 hour week out of it .

I would have even greater doubts that you would ever get paid.

There was a recent thread from someone who was offered a '' mystery shopper '' role which sounded far more like an effort to extract their personal/financial details.

Thank you all,
I am just wondering, how it is possible that this position is published on the official job WWW, if company is not registered in Ireland?

Delancey

Place of registration means nothing , many ' reputable ' sites allow rubbishy / misleading adds.
Unfortunately in these tough times thare are sharks out there seeking to take advantage of peoples desperation.
