This all started during a time when I was actively looking for a new job. I had applied to numerous positions and was eagerly waiting to hear back. One day, I received an email that caught my eye. It was a job offer from a company I had recently applied to—or so I thought. The offer was attractive, with a competitive salary, flexible hours, and the chance to work from home. The email contained an attached contract and a link to a website where I could fill out additional forms to finalize my employment. It all seemed legitimate—the email address looked professional, the company logo was spot on, and the website was well-designed. But as I started filling out the forms, something felt off.
