[r/Scams | Score: 31]
I had a remote interview for a Data Analyst position at an insurance company. The next day, the recruiter called me back and said I passed with a 72% score and offered me the job.
They sent me an employment contract and asked me to sign it and send back my driver's license via email for verification.
Here's where it got weird:
When I asked about the security of sending my ID via email, they said the HR email I received it from is "an official company contact." But the email domain is u/agency1careers.com, while the company website shows their official domain is u/agency1.com.
I tried to verify by:
* Emailing their sales email → No response (been 2 weeks)
* Calling their main phone line → No one answers
* Asking the recruiter directly about the domain difference → They said: "It's official, what else do you need?"
The contract itself looks professional and has real company details, but something just feels off about the whole process.
Am I being paranoid, or is this actually suspicious? Would a real company ask for a driver's license via email? Should I be concerned?
Any advice appreciated!
