Scam - Remote Equity Analyst Role at Top LO
I believe I am being scammed and want to see if anyone else has experienced this. I got an email from someone representing one of the top LO for a fully remote equity analyst role (first red flag given I only have 2.5 SS ER experience and wouldn't be an Analyst). She had me complete a questionnaire with both technical and fundamental questions and shared that the next step would be a two day zoom-based interactive training where I would have met with multiple people. However, the day after submitting the questionnaire, I got an offer letter instead (second and biggest red flag - very little work compared to the rigorous process I would have expected).
I think they are supposedly having me go through the training anyways but I will have to signed the offer letter before then. Also, keep in mind, I've had zero opportunities to ask questions. I reached out for a phone call for some clarity and reached out to other recruiters at the company on LinkedIn. I currently believe it is a scam and will continue with this understanding until something changes.
Anyone else deal with something like that? What's their end game? Maybe they will try to access bank account info from future direct deposit forms or something?
Name and shame
Don’t know who is running the scam but they are pretending to represent Wellington
It would be really surprising as Wellington is probably the firm that requires to pass the biggest number of interviews in the industry.
This is 100% a scam.
Do the email formats of the person you've interacted with match those of actual employees?
Please play along and continue the process, so we all know what the end game. When they ask for money wire via WesternUnion, call the police.
How unusual would it be for someone with 2-3 years of SS experience to recruit as a research analyst?
