How to tell a real job offer / recruiter scam from a fake
A real recruiter contacts you about a specific role from a real company email domain, never guarantees big pay for trivial work, never asks you to pay for training/equipment or to receive-and-forward money, and runs a normal interview — not an instant offer over text. Scams cold-message you to lure you onto WhatsApp/Telegram, then run a task/commission scam, advance-fee, or money-mule scheme.
Red flags
Unrealistic pay for almost no work (e.g. '$600/day for 60–90 minutes').
Cold contact by SMS/WhatsApp/Telegram from an unknown number, or 'text this number'.
Sender address doesn't match the real company (e.g. 'Amazon' from a random domain).
Asks for an upfront fee/deposit, gift cards, or your bank details to 'process payments'.
What to do
Paste the message above to flag the scam signals.
Don't reply, text the number, or move to WhatsApp/Telegram.
Never pay for a job or 'receive and forward' money — that's a money-mule crime.
Verify any real opening on the company's official careers site, and report/delete the message.
FAQ
Is a job offer by text from a company a scam?
Almost always, if it's unsolicited, promises high pay for little work, comes from a number or non-company domain, and pushes you to WhatsApp/Telegram. Real recruiters use company email and a normal interview. Paste it above to check.
Why do job scammers ask you to move to WhatsApp or Telegram?
To get you off a monitored channel and into a private chat where they run the real scam — fake 'task' commissions, an upfront 'training/equipment' fee, or using your bank account to launder money. Don't move the conversation there.
