I recently started working as a pharmacy technician and got a LinkedIn message from someone who claims to work with Singlecare to use a card's details when patients check out for them to save money and me to get a commission. The guy's LinkedIn page doesn't look very suspicious, he has a PFP and experience, and he claims that he pays people every two weeks with Cashapp, Zelle, Venmo, and Paypal. Serious question, is this a scam?

Good rule of thumb is that anyone that messages you randomly online to earn money via cashapp/zelle/venmo is a scammer. I’d each out to singlecare directly to confirm.

Agreed…. When in doubt, I agree with A1 above. I’d call Singlecare directly and speak to them about it if you think it’s worth it. Otherwise, I would operate on the assumption that it’s a scam/phishing attempt or something just generally malicious in nature.

Odds are that if you think it might be a scam, it is.

You are also potentially violating your pharmacy’s contracts with your patients insurance/payer.

This would also potentially violate various state board of pharmacy laws around pharmacies providing incentives for filling prescriptions.

So no, you shouldn’t do this

If you have to ask then clearly you have some doubts about ethical dilemma or outright fraud concerns, However; since helping your customers/patients save money at checkout and putting some extra bread in your pocket sounds nice I would reach out very th I roughly to Single are directly and get 100% positive this individual is totally legit before ever using this offer for easy money can be the gateway to serious prison sentence ! Due a thorough Due Diligence before you ever move forward with this option as if something sounds to good to be true it often is !

Sounds sus to me.

Of course it’s a scam. good thing you asked.

Thanks for the comments everyone, but is there any way that something malicious could be done with what's on my LinkedIn profile? Like, nothing crazy, but my e-mail and first and last name are on it? I just don't want to lose money because of the scam.

Unlikely except if you clicked on a picture or file they sent you or deliberately sent them something sensitive. They probably saw you recently changed your employer or something and went from there.

Be very careful! Not me!

I’m having a really hard time with my changing body. 13 weeks, I don’t have too many bad side effects of pregnancy or anything so I consider myself lucky (no nausea ever etc) but I’m depressed at work, my skin is completely broken out and showing new broken face capillaries, and I’m not showing a bump yet so I just feel fat and big. I don’t know where this “glow” is but I look in the mirror and literally am grappling with not recognizing myself :( it’s been impossible to find any clothes too.
