Imposter- Job Reports & Reviews (1)

- Houston, TX, USA

I was initially contacted via email after applying for a work from home job known as Halter Group, but after contacting the company directly I discovered the emails were from someone impersonating the president and the HR admin by name, they even mailed me a check without me ever signing any employee agreement or actually speaking with me over the phone. That was the biggest red flag that encouraged me to contact the company directly. The emails are pasted below (I removed my information, but left all of theirs):

Thank you for applying
