What's with ~employers~ scammers using secure messengers for hiring these days? - eviltoast

My GF has two nibbles on her resume, and both want her to communicate through either Signal or Telegram.

Edit: they requested banking info right off the bat. Said they use it to “confirm you have a checking account” to verify eligibility. Blocked them on Signal, reported to Indeed, for whatever that’s worth.

    Sounds like a modern scam based on this extra info. I worked security in the banking industry for years. They use regular email and phone calls like everyone else.

      Right? Can’t place a litigation hold on Signal or Telegram. Sigh. She’s bummed, but at least she didn’t go very far with them.
