Another Job Scam - Tricking job applicants.
FlexJobs recently released a list of the 20 most common jobs scams that largely target job-seekers. Scammers often target victims via social media or messaging platforms, promising remote or flexible work opportunities. Perpetrators may even create fake versions of well-known job boards, including FlexJobs itself.
Con artists may also impersonate recruiters from real companies in hopes of gaining their victims’ trust, and eventually their social security number.
If a "recruiter" asks to speak with you or message via Telegram or WhatsApp, delete them immediately. If they cannot provide a US phone number, then they are likely illegitimate.
Do your "due diligence". If they do not have a LinkedIn account - get rid of them immediately.
