This appears to be a very, very careful scam. my resume was posted on Indeed.com. I was contacted via email by a "company" to proceed with an online interview using Google Hangouts. They appear to use a real company as a front. In their initial contact email they even reference the ScamPulse.com. I set up a Google Hangouts session with "hiring manager" Helene Barnekow ([email protected]). During the online interview I was told that the company is based in Denmark, they are temporarily located in Lowell, Massachusetts and they would be opening a new location in Newark, New Jersey. I was advised that I would work from home until the new site was commissioned on November 20. I was even asked during the interview to go onto their website and carefully review what the company is about before proceeding with the rest of the process. I spent about an hour answering what seemed to be legit interview questions. after the process was completed I was advised that I was an impressive candidate and that she would be submitting my answers to her managers for review and that I should be remain near my device for about 15-20 minutes. After about 20 minutes she came back and advised me I was hired and that they would be emailing me my job offer letter, W-9 forms, etc. by the end of the day. I was then asked if I wanted to be paid by direct deposit or by check. By now I was concerned about being hired without a face to face meeting so I replied that since I had just moved to New Jersey and did not have bank accounts opened yet that I would like to be paid by check. I also asked to verify the exact location of the office in Newark that was being built or opened. I received a response stating Downtown Newark, New Jersey. I asked for further clarification of the actual street address. I have not heard from anyone since. They are VERY careful not to ask for money or info but once I said I wanted a live check vs. direct deposit and pressed for an actual location they vanished. Needless to say...no email with my job offer, W-9, etc. I kept a copy of my Google Hangouts conversation as a record.

I was initially emailed by Fatima : and instructed to add Helene Barkenow on Google Chat. This is for a work at home position until the branch is open in Chicago. I am to check in tomorrow at 8AM. I just want to know if this is a scam or if this is a legitimate company. I couldn't find any information on your scam checker because they are based in Denmark. I do not want to be a part of any check cashing scam. They are to send me a check to purchase a computer and software that I need to train with.
