Got a text today with off-the-bat weird spelling saying he saw my application to be an "administrative assistant" (someone who could manage his workload (task organizing, hotel/flight booking,etc) for his growing company) on Indeed. I tried to look up the job listing he was talking about, couldn't find it in my job applications (saved, applied, archived, nothing). Looked up his name, nothing, only two Lewis Realty's on Indeed and one of them has nothing mentioning anyone with his name, the other is barebones with only one review and no info (no job listings on either). Keep going anyway, see how far he'll go before he asks for my shit. Weird typing/ grammar errors throughout; mentioning military background almost always a scam; business in NC; phone number from PA; Linked. In in ME (the only account with a "Lewis Realty"); too good to be true pay; listed 4 banks but only sends one link?; cant direct deposit? My parents and friends believe it is a scam, but what do you guys think? Am I paranoid or could it be a scam? (if it's not a scam and i lost out on easy money im going to flip tf out)
