I would like to ask community's advice. I have been searching for vacancies at companies which are looking for a crypto trader to join their team. I bumped into
Verdigris holdings. They have a website an their HR lead has answered my inquiry. At the first glance, they looked interested in my application and wrote about an outline of the steps involved in their hiring process:
I have answered those initial questions, after what they gave me an instruction of reaching their trading platform to perform my skills. Those practical task (which I haven't really seen yet) required downloading and installation of the
OpenVPN Connect Client (of which I have never heard before) and connecting their server through this VPN. Installation process failed, as my antivirus detected it as a threat. I could not come further and connect their server. I wrote to them about such a problem and now I am waiting for an answer.
Meanwhile I started to dig deeper and tried to find out more about this company. That's when I started feeling suspicious about them.
- They have a website and X page, however, they don't have LinkedIn or Reddit or Medium or Facebook profiles.
- HR posted a link to his LinkedIn, but the page doesn't open (I am not sure it exists)
- There is information in Reddit about this
OpenVPN Connect Client , but I don't understand, why it didn't instal.
- There is
information about founders and investors of this company, but most of them don't work with them anymore (as far as I understood)
- Their answer letters to me seem to consist AI generated content (but not all the services of AI detection showed such result, that is why this is maybe due to the sample they use)
- They didn't mention my previous replies to the initial questions at all, there were no context answers from them about it. Just moving to the step 2.
I would like to ask community`s advice to help me understand if I am dealing with some adequate application process, or is it some kind of a scam. I will post updated here, maybe new information will shed more light on the situation. But I would like to know something better so far.
