How to Spot a Job Scammer

By someone who still gets their damn texts

Scammers are despicable, but job scammers? Here’s a way to handle them.

The first time I mentioned them was in my post, “Get a Job!”, which was a rant about, how there I was, unemployed, trying to find work, and I was getting nothing but texts from job scammers. And companies are complaining people “don’t wanna work”.

What sparked this post was, on Apr. 15th, I received, another, text from a job scammer. After having gotten so many, I’m pretty damn good at identifying them. I mentioned it to my partner and said I should make a video about it. Right now, my videos are limited to video games and books, and YouTube doesn’t exactly reward straying from your niche, but I liked the idea. So, I decided I’d write a blog post about it.

Below are screenshots of a scam text I received, phone number and all:

Red Flags:

Typos: this is a text about a job position. One would expect it to be as professionally written as possible.

Company name is in parenthesis.

Pay rate is too good to be true.

They mix up the gender of the individual who would be doing the interview.

Possible Red Flags:

Getting more details during the interview. Every interview I remember was me providing details, not the other way around.

Job ID.

When I see red flags, I look up the company I suspect they are claiming to be from and check their Careers page. No data entry positions. And at the bottom of page it says:

Beware of fraudulent job postings: While apree health job advertisements may be found on many sites, our current openings page and its associated Jobvite account are the only places we accept applications for open roles. If you suspect a job post is fraudulent, please let us know at recruiting@apree.health.

I don’t remember seeing this when I was first doing the research. Either I wasn’t paying attention or they added it after I sent them a message about the scam using their Contact page, which I try to do every time I’m sent a text or email from a scammer to protect others. If I’m able to forward the email, I do.

Also, report the text as spam and block the number.

Well, this is all the education I have for today! Thank you for reading.

May every decision you make be in the spirit of fairness and may the rest of your day NOT go to $#!7!

Arman hitting his 405 pr today. Excellent job Arman. By the way, that’s how you spot on a squat. You lift the lifter , not the bar. Luckily for me, I didn’t have to. #goldgym #squats #quads #legs #howtospot #bodybuilding
