  1. This is absolutely true case because i too received similar mails from careers@eqt-us.com & hr@eqt-us.com
    These fraudsters are sending email in the name of Charlene Petrelli of EQT. They first send 2 forms - 1) Application pdf 2) Interview pdf
    Once you send the scanned copies, they will send you Employment contract pdf and ask you to sign it within 4 days.
    Please beware of such scam because no company from US without taking your interview will hire you on H1-B visa and offer USD 10,000.
