Williams Lea is a legit company, but someone is contacting people for remote work (proofreading in my case) that is posing as a hiring manager from there.
I didn’t remember applying for a job there but I’ve applied for so many that it’s easy to lose track. I received an email confirming my interest , which I replied to, then a short pre-interview questionnaire, which I also replied to. I was waiting for them to schedule an interview, but received a job offer instead. My Spidey sense went off but still, I was hopeful. Once I got to the paragraph telling me they’re going to send me a check to cover a home office setup, I knew it was bullshit. Looking at the email domain closer, it’s similar to, but not the same as, the legit company domain.
I just wanted to document my experience here to hopefully help others not waste their time or get scammed. Good luck out there.
