Fake jobs, recruiters, and hiring managers. Oh my! Predators are hunting job-seeking prey. This is always going on, but it ramps up when the market sucks and people are feeling desperate.
I receive random text messages from “recruiters” who say I’m exactly what they’re looking for based on my LinkdIn profile and they always include “there are only 5 positions left” to manipulate a sense of urgency. I instantly block and report spam—I have no LinkdIn profile 🙄
They are so scammy and lazy. One tried to sell me a service to help me start a podcast. I said, “Wow, you must have missed that I’ve been hosting 3 podcasts for several years now.”
Right? 😆 They must send a million of those out knowing what they write will be true for some people, and if only a few bite it can be a huge payday. Psychopathic thieves 🤬
