Verify the email address first and foremost. I mean really verify it. Scammers will buy fake domains that look close to the real thing, but not quite - like using a capital "i" instead of a lowercase "l" type thing. Figuring out how to identify fake email addresses alone will keep you safe from 99% of scams out there, especially if you write off any/all opportunities that are communicated to you via SMS. Which you should be doing, because these are always scams.
Thank you for that advice. Over the years, I have been trained to spot fraud and I didn't see it. I have to take a breath and slow down.
I would keep applying for jobs and just be more careful next time. There are so many employment scams out there—it’s crazy. I’m really sorry that happened to you
Thank you! I feel like I wasted 2 weeks of time that I could have found an actual job. I'm holding up my head up and moving on to better things.
