Jul 18, 2025 – Got an unpaid technical assessment (Kubernetes: second NGINX controller). Jul 22 – Was told I “passed” and was asked to upload front/back passport/ID scans and a selfie video through a public Google Form before any contract was provided. Jul 24 – I asked for a contract first and a GDPR Article 13 notice; they insisted I fill the form first (said I could blur sensitive parts). Jul 25 – Offer was $30–40/hour but under a “Tracker off / Project-based” policy: “If ETA is 8h and you need 200h, you still get paid 8h.” No escrow / payment guarantee, yet fixed 8–17 CET working hours for a “contractor”. I declined and requested erasure of my data under GDPR (which they confirmed, but with inconsistencies about processors and no clear Article 9(2) basis for the selfie video).

They contacted via linkedin and aldo sent a letter to sign and they did not reached out I think they are scam because if they wanted to hire the first thing to do is interview then I read other reviews of this job and I made sure they are scam
