The whole thing was fake - the real employees had been "jobfished". The BBC has spent a year investigating what happened. ...Amazing story. bbc.com/news/uk-60387324

@estherschindler What surprised me was no one bothered to background check the company. Kinda standard procedure to know it’s background and address.

The mind boggles.

@Zebrano To be fair, I was hired as a remote employee a year ago, and while I looked up the address it was only for curiosity sake -- with the hope that when I traveled I could visit a cool spot in SFO or London. It wouldn't occur to me that it was a residential neighborhood!

Really? I’m honestly surprised. Basic knowledge of who you are working for their history, their success, the executive teams, past financial disclosures to see how well they are doing, where their offices are and legal entities etc.

How else will you have the knowledge and be able to ask probing questions in the interview stages?

Anyhoo I guess we look at it from two very different perspectives.
