It is imperative that we bring attention to a concerning incident and issue a collective appeal for heightened awareness against fraudulent job scams that pose a threat to both legitimate companies and job seekers.
Job scams often initiate through unsolicited messages, commonly on platforms like WhatsApp or Telegram, presenting alluring work-from-home opportunities with flexible schedules and no prior experience necessary. Some scammers specifically target individuals who have previously applied on counterfeit versions of legitimate job sites, making their messages appear authentic.
The fraudulent job descriptions typically involve completing tasks with promised commission earnings, sometimes in the form of daily salaries paid in cryptocurrency. It's important to note that cryptocurrency is not a regulated currency, and reputable companies typically do not compensate employees using this method.
In certain instances, scammers replicate authentic companies, showcasing a seemingly genuine website during the initial stages. However, as you progress to undertake the job, they redirect you to a deceptive 'portal' with the company's branding. Always verify the URL, and if it deviates from the original company website, there is a high likelihood of it being a scam.
As the scam progresses, you'll complete tasks, and the portal will display fictitious commission balances. Eventually, you'll encounter a task that results in a negative account balance, compelling you to make a deposit—often in cryptocurrency—to rectify the situation. The scammers promise a refund after task completion.
While initial returns might be modest to build trust, the tasks become increasingly expensive, pressuring you to make substantial deposits, sometimes resorting to loans or borrowing from acquaintances to continue. The scammers insist that withdrawal of funds is only possible after completing the set of tasks, leaving you with no alternative. Whether or not you comply with their demands, they will never refund your money, citing reasons such as additional taxes and fees for withdrawals.
It is crucial to recognize that legitimate companies like Mobisoft Infotech never require employees to make payments, especially in cryptocurrency. These scams are highly sophisticated, making them remarkably convincing.
