That company’s training materials are hilariously terrible.

They treat you like a child with no self respect. They are awful.

TrickDacy ,

Yep. The videos feel like they were designed by people who have never spoken to another human before. And yeah, seems like they are catering to old people who were new to email in 2003.

That’s because they are. Those are the people who are most likely to fall for phishing.

The scam is that they are actually doing the work, getting paid well

Listen. I know that there are some really shitty stuff going on in North Korea, and very real threats that their government is capable of, and it sucks for the people living there who have to do this work under threat of death.

But if you say that “the scam” is they’re doing work and receiving full pay for work done, I’m going to make fun of you. Oh no, someone outside of the West did work and was slightly less exploited by capital than usual in the process. Horror upon horror.

How do you get out of North Korea unnoticed?

Go through China. Although this seemed like a remote position.
