Fraudulent job offers *edited*

Hi!

Someone tried to scam me today. In his message, he asked to contact him via Telegram ( **Edited for Community Guidelines**) and at the end of his message he wrote this sentence: **Edited for Community Guidelines**

Out of curiosity, I searched for this company in Google and in their landing page was the notice I have attached to this message.

Beware! I read they are using different names ( **Edited for Community Guidelines**). Don't get scammed!

Glad I research the company name first. They asked me to message on telegram that goes by the account of **Edited for Community Guidelines**but she introduced herself as **Edited for Community Guidelines**. Blocked her already.
