Is this company ligit??

Question

I received a job offer from a Russian company, CIT Financial Bank, they got my resume from careerbuilder. How can I be sure this isn't a scam? Their website is citfinbank.com. They haven't asked for any suspicious information, yet. I have checked on all the scam sites and they are not listed anywhere. When I search for Russian companies, they are not on that list either. I need some direction. Thanks

Answer 1

Unfortunately, I think I just received the same kind of job offer from them that you did. At first I was like, "Is the Russian mafia trying to hire me?"

It is odd that the website isn't ".ru," and simultaneously that it doesn't have (or I couldn't find) any way to translate it into, you know, its own mother tongue.

It's also fishy that they're talking about how you can make between 1-2 grand a month, "for just an hour's work." I mean, that's just a wee bit too generous for a bank.

And there was the fact that they said I was the only candidate for the position in the whole USA. I guess they meant you and me (and everyone else on Career Builder...seriously, I'm tired of these fake job offers.)

So I guess if it looks like a scam, smells like a scam, and tastes like a scam, it's most likely a completely legit employment opportunity that you should waste no time in applying for.

Good luck,

Answer 2

Well, what is the job doing? If it involves transferring money through Western Union or Money Gram, run! Its a scam to steal money.
I find it odd that their website is .com instead of the common Russian suffix of .ru
