Recruiter: Fake Job Offer Scam
Hi! I'm from GlobalTech Solutions. We found your profile online and have a great work-from-home job for you! 💼 Interested?
🤔
Thanks for reaching out! Sounds interesting. Can you share more details about the job and the company?

Recruiter Thanks for reaching out! Sounds interesting +
It’s a data entry role, fully remote, $30/hr. You just need to complete our training program for $50 to get started. I’ll send you the payment link!
Hmm, paying for training sounds unusual. Can you tell me more about GlobalTech Solutions? Is there a website or contact I can verify?

Don’t worry, the training fee is standard! Our website is under maintenance, but I can send you a job contract PDF. Just share your email and phone number to proceed.

I’m not comfortable sharing personal info yet. Can you confirm the company’s registration or provide a verifiable contact?

You’re overthinking! This is a limited-time offer. Pay the $50 today, and you’ll start earning next week!
Sorry, this doesn’t feel right. I’ll pass on this opportunity. Thanks anyway!

Note: Fake job offer scams often target job seekers with unsolicited messages promising high pay for little work. Red flags include upfront payment requests, vague company details, and pressure to act quickly. Always verify the company’s legitimacy through official websites or business registries before sharing personal information or money.
Another approach is to ask specific questions: What’s the company’s physical address? Is the job listed on their official site? Why is payment required upfront?
Hi! Missed out last time? We still have the $30/hr data entry job open! Just pay $50 for training, and you’re set! 🤑

No thanks. I researched GlobalTech Solutions, and it doesn’t seem to exist. This sounds like a scam. Please stop contacting me.

I’m reporting this to the authorities. Legitimate companies don’t ask for money upfront or push like this.
