Is this job real?

I have been unemployed for over a year and just found out about ATS resume bullsh*t. After fixing my resume and sending out some applications through indeed for remote data entry/customer service, I received an offer through a company called FYLLO. I looked up the company, specifically searching for anything fraudulent or complaints about scams, and it seems legitimate. I just finished a “text interview” where they asked me a series of interview questions via text and claimed they were monitoring how long it took me to respond. After the interview, the hiring manager said I seemed like a perfect candidate but that he needed to speak with the head office, and asked me to remain online. 15 minutes later, they offered me a job. They claim they are going to send me a check to purchase my home office needs (a Mac Desktop, laptop, various software packages, etc.) from…


I have been unemployed for over a year and just found out about ATS resume bullsh*t. After fixing my resume and sending out some applications through indeed for remote data entry/customer service, I received an offer through a company called FYLLO. I looked up the company, specifically searching for anything fraudulent or complaints about scams, and it seems legitimate. I just finished a “text interview” where they asked me a series of interview questions via text and claimed they were monitoring how long it took me to respond. After the interview, the hiring manager said I seemed like a perfect candidate but that he needed to speak with the head office, and asked me to remain online. 15 minutes later, they offered me a job. They claim they are going to send me a check to purchase my home office needs (a Mac Desktop, laptop, various software packages, etc.) from a 3rd party the company has a deal with, along with a $200 sign on bonus. While I wait for this, they say they want me (as part of the interview process) to begin “pre-training” tomorrow: they want to “assess how well [I] can follow instruction to detail given the default instruction source (to prove an effective worker: less detailed instruction does not deter how well task is carried out). They offer paid training, but this is unpaid. None of my research indicates this is a scam, and as of yet they have not asked for any information that is not on my resume, but I can't shake the feeling this is too good to be true. Is there any possible way this isn't legitimate, anything specifically I should ask about or be wary of? It claims to pay almost double what I've made at my past jobs on average, and I have a lot of debt so I very much want to believe this is true but don't want to do something I regret.

TL;DR: Job seems too good to be true, is it?
