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.

    Ding! Ding! Winner! Yep, they did the same. She was hopeful, but sketch and red flags won out. Too bad they have her info from her resume, and supposedly 10k applicants…

      Sorry, hopefully she finds something legit soon and the scammers didn’t get enough to do any real harm.
