This format is similar to the emails I had received before. This time however it mentions bank information which terrified me. I did not reply because I know that if I do, they have me hooked. The second email I did respond to, and when I had asked about who was posting the position I did not receive a response back. Additionally, the grammar is horrible, a professional business would NEVER use a generic email "gmail or aol" they would use their company name.com or company name.org. All emails asked for me to confirm my details, which I never did. However, I did reply to a job posting from AGM Industries on Indeed. The website I provided only is a very basic and very generic website–definitely not a company website. This is the third time this has happened. They did provide me with a PDF document for the second email. I will attach it here for further assistance.

I have been also getting emails from zip codes that are obviously not from where they actually are calling from. I recieved a text the other day which stated, "*** ***of *** *** *** ***. Heya how are you doing" This was VERY unnerving. I’m glad they got my address wrong. I have blocked all of these emails, the phone numbers that call me. I am on the Do Not Call list, so it is very frustrating that these scammers keep calling me!!
