Received multiple calls from this company with the promise of a job. Not sure if it's a legit organization. They told me about a job with a local company and ask for my social security number. They told me about a contract job with a company. I reached out to an employee of that company on LinkedIn and ask them if this opportunity was viable. An HR team member told me to avoid calls from this fraudulent company....... they frequently use the names of known business brands to con people to share their social security numbers.

Approach with caution - do not share identifying information without receiving a legal, confirmed and verified letter of offer. No legal business organization... Small or massive....... ask for your social security number up front.
