First, for legal purposes, these are my suspicions, and I am in no way accusing this company of a scam. I am just pointing out the very obvious red flags. This company has a fairly new website that was registered about a year ago. They are very vague with what they offer, and have a sense of urgency in their messages, such as "call us back by 5pm because spots are filling quick" when the actual job posting has been up for 26 days or so. Also, they do not include their full names in the email footers, which is another concern. There is no digital trace to their company aside from their website; there is no public Facebook or LinkedIn account, which is another red flag for a "consulting company". There is no Apple Maps location that pops up, and Google Maps just zooms into Seattle, but does not resort to an actual location, proving they don't have official headquarters. Their website is very vague, and legitimate companies show some proof with the companies they work with. Also, in the initial email, the lady says "I'm Alicia," when the email footer says the name "Rose." And there is a missing space in the email between "Alicia" and "with" at the start of the email. Rose, when talking, took seconds just to think of the next words in her sentences. Maybe she was stressed, or something else, idk. (No offense - but professional "admins" don't talk like that). After chatting with GenAI (two different models for redundancy), it seems like this may be a "devil corp" or a scam. Either this is a very terrible startup company that isn't even trying to look legit, or they are a scam. Regardless, avoid it for your own good. My details were omitted from the email for my own safety, but it was their initial reply (or automated reply) after I applied to their ZipRecruiter job, which is strangely located in Tukwila, WA, but they said it was in Bellevue, WA. Finally, what kind of name is Helal Helal? First time in my life seeing a first and last name being the same.
