I get texts for real (but still shitty) job offers. I think texting someone’s cellphone for an unprompted job offer should be fucking illegal. I had some fucking clown recruiter call me 5 times, email me 3 times. Leave 2 voicemails, and send me 5 texts. This was all within the span of a god damn fucking HOUR. These people should be in jail.

Damn. I guess I’m glad I’m not in demand.

HewlandRower ,

I get lots of “Hey! We talked last week about your house! Still interested in selling? What’s your cash price?” My reply is an upscaled goatse.

FeelzGoodMan420 ,

This is the only appropriate response.

PsychedSy ,

The scam is called pig butchering.

Everythingispenguins ,

It is a scam but not sure this falls into pig butchering. Pig butchering is more of a romance scam.

PsychedSy ,

Ah. It seems to fit this sort of scam. Didn’t realize the tiddies were a necessary component.

FiniteBanjo ,

People forgetting to put the /s in here gonna convince some special needs kids to leak their SSN and get ransomware on their phones.

Crack0n7uesday ,

You’re going to have to do butt stuff with a broken calculator…

Big_Boss_77 ,

Does the broken calculator at least like butt stuff?

Crack0n7uesday ,

The broken calculator is experimenting, that’s why it made this very specific request.

It’s legit…

Legitimately a scam.

Xanis ,

Kind of a fun one though. Has all the typical flags, though hides them well enough I’d bet they get above average hits. Even the haste part is hiding behind a static number of 50 positions.

I’ve definitely seen worse.

I may be coming off a rather silly corporate phishing training session complete with a couple incredibly easy to spot emails.

JCreazy ,

Imagine using whatsapp

thermal_shock ,

normal day stuff? perfectly fine. just not for business stuff like this I’d say.

Not great, still better than SMS.

I was sceptical, but the exclamation mark convinced me.

thermal_shock ,

what if it had 2?

Zidane ,

I had a Gaia Online account with the name “Monkey Man” 20ish years ago (jesus where has the time gone) can confirm def legit

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

So is that what I call you when I contact you on WhatsApp? Or do I call you Zidane?

Zidane ,

You can call me whatever you like ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

misanthropy ,

… Did it have two ns, and were you also on the Nintendo forums?

almost1337 ,

Gaia Online… now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time

odama626 ,

WhatsApp has a zero day code execution exploit and that is probably the reason for using WhatsApp, I got a similarly odd text a couple days ago

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

That does make sense. I don’t use WhatsApp, so I know nothing about it.

thermal_shock ,

I get spam, I reply with goatse

TheKMAP ,

twitter.com/…/1783213977905844320?s=19

That user does not appear to be reliable. They were also advertising a zero click iPhone exploit and got banned.

odama626 ,

I would still personally play it safe

einlander ,

At the end of training they will have you pay them for training you.

dutchkimble ,

Ah, the old Soviet Russia con

Neato ,
@Neato@ttrpg.network avatar

Why is there a range on payment for training? You’d think that’d be standardized.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

It’s based on your training GPA.

TheFunkyMonk ,
@TheFunkyMonk@lemmy.world avatar

You know it’s legit when they ask you to move the conversation over to WhatsApp.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I’m just surprised it wasn’t Microsoft Teams. I’ve had fake job offers sent to me telling me to contact them over Teams before, but I always sent my resume to them first, thinking they were legitimate. This one was totally unsolicited.

FunkyMonk ,

Sweet Jesus, is MLM not even safe? Bots mean to replace the HUN jobs? Deary Deary Deary....

Bonehead ,

MLM? This is likely human trafficking. MLMs will gladly take your money, but the face to face interactions are at seminars well after you're hooked on the scam. Traffickers will entice you into "training" at one of their facilities right away.

FunkyMonk ,

Well, thats much worse.

FunkyMonk ,

Sweeeeeeeeeet Jaye-sus I need to let Karen Karoline Kalmers know the EH EYES are commming for the HUN jobs.
