  1. Did they make you sign up for an online account where they will transfer money so that you can purchase programs? I was told that I would be getting a lap top and be hired on as a full time employee – that my laptop would come with some of the programs that I needed but not all and to open up an online account so that the financial department could transfer over money to that account and I could purchase the other programs for said lap top.

    1. This is possible if the job you are performing requires special software. However, most of the jobs with this company will demand that you use your own computer. They don’t normally require you to buy software to add to your computer. Before proceeding on I would make a ticket and talk to a person from the company. Make sure you go directly to their website and add your ticket. There are many online scams these days that people will pretend they are with a very popular company. Many of these scams deal directly with mystery shoppers. I worked with this company for about 2 years I was not required to purchase any software. I also know many people who still work there and I asked them about this. So far nobody that I know has ever been requested to do this. Before opening the account, contact this company first. I would wait and see if a computer is also delivered to your home before ever opening an account. This seems a bit strange to me. Nobody that I spoke with has ever had the company request this from them.
