Another Job-offer Scam
Today I received a job offer via a text message:
I felt suspicious as soon as I looked at it, and there were a number of warning signs:
- The Company
- The CV
- The Grammar
- The Pay
- The Link
1. The Company
As this company has an HR department, it would need to be a medium to large company, So, you would think that the company's name would be included.
2. The CV
I haven't recently sent my CV to anyone.
3. The Grammar
The verb 'to invite' doesn't have a pronoun.
4. The Pay
This definitely falls into the 'too good to be true' bracket.
5. The Link
The link looked like a shortened URL which is often valid when sending text messages. The down side of these is that you have no idea of where you will be redirected.
Conclusion
I was too cautious to click on the link to find out more about this scam.
This scam may not catch many people out, but I thinks it's wise to share the ones you receive with the community - as does @katerinaramm
