Applied for a remote position, took extensive screening tests, received an offer for employment. Received a letter to set up a profile on their portal. Before continuing, I checked for legitimacy and found that this company, AppenUSA or Appen USA Talent, has been scamming job-seekers for years, posing as 'Appen.com' to deceive candidates. I thought the question about how I would like to receive payment (bank, credit card, check by mail, etc.) during the interview process was odd, which raised red flags. Now I wonder if I had said 'by mail' rather than direct deposit, if I wouldn't have received an 'offer'. I did not proceed with the onboarding and I sent an email requesting that all of my PII be scrubbed and that I wanted my 'application' withdrawn. No response.
