Scamming - Fraud
I received an Indeed Recruitment job offer text message. The job offer is for a remote, part-time or full-time, work any hours you want, and make up to $800 a day. There are bizarre job functions including “update App Store data”, “increase app views”, etc. (see text below). I assume it’s some kind of task scam or something. Since I’m retired and haven’t applied for a job I’m skeptical. I visited the Indeed website and actually found a page warning about scams.

Getting a job offer through a text message or phone call can be exciting, but be careful. It might be a scam. Indeed will never ask job seekers for payment through WhatsApp, Telegram, or phone calls. Be cautious of unsolicited messages from people pretending to be recruiters or claiming to be from Indeed.
