This isn't new, is it? These kind of job scams in IT have been around for a while, just prevalent in the remote/hybrid era. Some scams even ask you to buy certain equipment for work, send you a proof of sent check that is more than your requested amount, even before you could ask it or receive it you are asked to send the excess amount back. At this point if a job offer is too good and the process feels too easy, a lot of due diligence is required. Either way, its good to know companies recognize this and warn everyone. Most times such stories are from people who get scammed and do not get the needed exposure.
