Be wary about WithinReachHospice

I applied with the easy apply on Linkedin, which honestly should have been the first red flag. Every time I've seen that, the correspondence has been shady. It was for a 'Virtual assistant' to their 'Director'.

I got given an 'interview' over Slack, which was another red flag. They swore up and down that it was to ensure I could be 'warm' over text, and quick at typing. I could tell that the person was basically taking what I wrote and feeding it into ChatGPT, but I figured that was just a lazy recruiter.

I got an offer letter and a demand for my personal information. It twigged me as a bit weird that after the 'interview' they didn't want to even make sure I was a real person over like, webcam or something.

So I did some research and found several people commenting about how it was a scam. I went to the address on their website in google maps and found it led to a strip mall.

California is apparently in the midst of a huge swarm of hospice scams and this would seem to be one targeting remote workers.

Really sucks, and I should have recognized the red flags sooner, but I guess I'm just kind of desperate at the moment.
