Next, they show images on their website of their headquarters at 234 Simpson Rd. This is one of the images:
. Note the 721 above the door.

Now, compare that to this building, which is in Durham, NC at 721 Broad Street.

The first piece of news from their website, which has a Ukraine top domain? "The numbers don't lie and neither do the stats Georgia is the NEW hollywood our state with its low tax credit has attracted hollywood movie companies to make films in the peach state. And as you know Zone X Production is one of the companies also producing movies with many directors like Tyler Perry residing in Atlanta.Business deals are now in reach of our local attention." So, the most respected company in the world can't manage to post a coherent sentence in their news releases?

If you got a job here, where did they tell you to show up?
Thanks alot bro,your right the road no longer exists.They told me to show up at that address but I left them a message telling them I did a google search and address isn't real.I called their customer service the lady wouldn't answer me why the address is fake she says no(but it is).So i'll wait when they contact me,they told me all I been doing is training me today,so its wait and see.

Have you gone back to any of those "everyones" to ask for clarification on what/why they told you about it?

Indeed. It's one of the worst executed "fake"' web jobs I've ever seen! I was literally laughing out loud last night reading it! I'm hoping it was just some dumb kid trying to get his jollies and not some Russian hack trying to scam people. Heck, I've seen "African Prince seek share 30 million US dollar fortune with most respected contact" scams done better than this!

Ya think? Is it the wording his posts almost exactly matching the wording of the website that caused you to think that?

I mean, seriously. No one could look at that website and think they are at the top of their game in website design, media creation, and business branding. There is no uniformity to any of the pages; there's a whole slew of different logos for Zone X (so no brand conformity); some pages list the company as Zone X Productions, while others say Zone X Production; the grammar, spelling, and punctuation is atrocious; and the photos are all lifted from various websites easily found with a google image search. It's laughable at best.

THIS WAS MY FAVORITE LINE:

"Established in 2007, it is one of the longest running, most prolific, and most highly-respected companies in the world."

I went to the Facebook page. WOW.
So every "staff" photo is blurry. Some look like a green screen background. Since it's blurry, you can't tell if the barely legible ZoneX text is real or not (guessing it's not).
They list the address at 234 when the building clearly has 721 etched into the glass. There are typos everywhere. Did an image search. The interior "office" seems to be from BitTitan Singapore.

I believe THIS FACEBOOK SCREEN GRAB explains the OP's intentions in posting here:

Right?!

Looked at that picture again. Image search shows Art Institute of Atlanta uses it on their homepage. Maybe it's not a photo owned by AIA and is just a photo anyone can use. Not sure. And I swear I've seen the circled X on a Mac computer from college. I can just picture it on the bottom of the desktop. And check out their blog!

By the way, notice where the group picture on their FB page comes from:
