Is this job offer a scam? (Melbourne part-time role)
Hi everyone,
I am an international student who was seeking for a a part time to gain experience.
I recently applied for a part-time admin assistant role in gumtree and wanted some advice on whether this seems legitimate or not.
The offer is for Admin assistant he owns a photography business on his name and he needs an assistant to manage the calls with clients and data entry in excel.
Here’s the timeline and current situation :
- contacted in gumtree and got a reply to email my resume.
- I had an online zoom interview, but the interviewer did not ask me to show the face or showed his face and asked me questions like why I needed this job any CRM tools experience etc.
- after couple of days I received employment contract to sign which had me to sign and give my personal details along with my previous employer references
- Now they are asking me to send my ID and bank details via email. And they did not ask my TFN of ABN.
What do I do next
Some additional things I noticed:
- The business seems to exist with a valid ABN
- website and the testimonials seems too generic
- social media has no post since 2020
I haven’t sent any sensitive information yet.
Does this sound like a scam or something I should be cautious about? Has anyone experienced something similar in Australia?
Thanks in advance!
