SCAM ALERT: **

Watchout for someone presenting themselves as an employee of **Edited for Community Guidelines**.  They sent me an email asking for an interview and for me to submit a proposal.  I did, and then they asked for a Skype text interview (live:.**Edited for Community Guidelines**), 1st red flag, then we went thru a whole interview process and they offered me the "job" but said training and bonuses would be paid out via direct deposit (2nd red flag).  Then they wanted me to submit my resume to **Edited for Community Guidelines** (not their website) (3rd red flag).  They wouldn't do a video call and typos were laced throughout the conversation.  Be careful out there people, there are real scum trying to scam people during this trying time!
