My GF has two nibbles on her resume, and both want her to communicate through either Signal or Telegram.
Edit: they requested banking info right off the bat. Said they use it to “confirm you have a checking account” to verify eligibility. Blocked them on Signal, reported to Indeed, for whatever that’s worth.
Nah, there is no reason an employer needs to know anything about your banking details. Maybe some basic routing info if you’re doing direct deposit, but even then that’s after you get hired. This sounds all kinds of sketchy. I bet they used the words “kindly” and “dear” a lot.
