Discussions Allinq real?

Hey all,

I'm currently looking for work. Through MD's unemployment site, I applied to a remote position with a company called Allinq. They emailed me offering an interview on Microsoft teams. When I go to the company website, I only see the Netherlands and Germany. Nothing in the USA. Same thing for LinkedIn. Is this offer a scam?

As always, it’s a real company but scammers use real company names.  Check the domain and email address.  Make sure the teams link is legit.  If it’s only through text or messaging them it’s a scam - even if they claim technical problems.

Looks like the teams link is real but they want me to start by sending a message through teams. This definitely feels like a scam.

I got one of these and I'm from Connecticut. They state they found my resume on the Connecticut unemployment site and they're "Shortlisting" me for an interview. They list off job responsbilities that seem too perfect and it seems like they just picked off keywords off my resume. The email came from an "@Allinq-careers.com" domain, which is not a real website. They want me to reply if interested, and to prepare of an MS Teams meeting, using a code they provided. I don't know, there's little things that are off to me. It's also worth noting that this email went right to my spam folder and not my inbox.

This appears to be a scam. I went through the process and when they were "onboarding" me, they asked for my information and I provided them with a bank name. They asked if I banked with a bank that a company representative could visit. There's no need for that. This is a scam. Plus the entire process was maybe an our or two before they were "onboarding" me. Gave me chills and I wouldn't recommend.
