Seems legit
- matzab 4y agoIt's obviously right next to Klaus-von-Bayerische-Motorenwerke-Straße. They didn't even try to seem legit, did they?
- SargeDebian 4y agoThere are multiple streets named after Werner von Braun and Werner von Siemens, so why not just take another well known German brand as your fake company’s fake address?
- sva_ 4y agoIt makes me feel like this isn't trying to fool westerners, but rather other asians/Chinese.
- xg15 4y agoBit disappointed their US headquarters weren't at General Edison Motors Plaza.
- rob74 4y agoYeah that's just bad luck - most German companies (Siemens, Bosch, Opel, Thyssen-Krupp, Daimler etc. etc.) are named after people, but they picked Volkswagen, one of the few that isn't...
- netsharc 4y agoThe phone number "49 (400) 817-0525" is even more exciting. Germany is 49, that's correct, but Munich's area code is not 400, but 89.
- hef19898 4y agoJust to nitpick, we Germans love to, country prefix for Germany is +49 / 0049. They also got the postal code wrong, Germany uses 5 digits, multiple ones for each city. For some reason I didn't find the correct zip code for the Werner-von-Volkswagen-Strasse...
- b112 4y agoI don't know how many times I've been asked for a resume, and when I check? The recruiter's business address is a fake one in some random US city. When questioned as to why, they ghost. So apparently making up addresses very poorly, is fashionable.
- masswerk 4y agoAI generated?
- pavlov 4y agoThe Volkswagens were originally humble wagonmakers but were granted a title of nobility by Ludwig II of Bavaria after they won a competition for the most beautiful swan-shaped carriage. The fourth generation of the family later took an interest in exploring insect forms rather than waterfowl.
- affgrff2 4y agoAlso, naming Würselen on the list of locations is really interesting. This is a basically a meaningless small town apart from hosting NVidias Headquarters in Germany.
- rob74 4y agoWürselen on its own is mostly meaningless, except for the fact that it's right beside Aachen (which is a city with a rather important university) - similar to, let's say, Redmond and Seattle?
- crote 4y agoWerner-von-Siemens-Strasse does exist, though!
