Thread: $150 p/hr for a phone interview via LinkedIn ? legit or scam.

Cash up front or fukkem.

Shure, just give them the usual payroll info like Social Security number and your bank account number so they can direct deposit the funds into their account.

They may need remote access to your laptop for file sharing ect.

Seriously though I dont know what their all about. Do your homework.

I've heard if it sounds too good to be true it is. Cunsutants are not cheep unless their on the TD forum.

Good luck.

That's what I am thinking.

I get contacted by these types quite a bit and I've noticed over the years that they're becoming ever more slick and sophisticated. I have received a few of these glossy expensive-looking prospectuses that all look pretty professional and impressive, but do even a little research on the 'company' behind them and it's invariably shite.

Used to be a company called GLG that sent similar proposals. Never followed up on those, it was always consultation / interview first, pay later.

^ Had a similar email with an chinese investor looking to purchase a school in Thailand, did I know of one.

String the bastards along Wilson, until it comes to the point that they want cash.

Keep us updated.

Send back one question.... how will the money be paid.....

If they are scammers they will give up.

If they are real they will think you are a mercenary bastard and give up.

Then you can start a thread..... Why won't these people talk to me again and ask us which of the two happened.

I got contacted by one, Singapore based, not really a scam, scam, it's more of a people library.
They keep a list of people with skills or knowledge of any thing, all comes a guy, wants to open a hairdressers in Timbuktu, for a fee they have a contact.

You may never get contacted, unless you are in a really specialized field, then you would already be consulting on big buck.

Put me down for specialised knowledge of "blokes in a dress".

Is it like Mastermind?

As an IT contractor more than half of my new contracts come from agents who came across my details on Linkedin. Some follow the traditional telephone and/or face to face style, others are of the 'can you start Monday?' variety. The latter are often desperate so you push your rate up and try to make a good impression in the first week to persuade them you are worth the extra £100/day.
