If you've received something similar, please comment below and help confirm the scam.

I had an "interview" where (on Google Hangouts) this Human Resource person asked me a set of 10 questions and offered me a job right away. Promised a new smartphone and a mac laptop "so the company can track our work hours". Even sent me a lousy job offer and a contract to sign. $30 per hour.

Then I googled them. And, I am so glad I did!
