Attempted Job Scam

Ya don’t need a job Nicki
Ya just think you do
I’m never gonna work again

 

Good on you for spotting it! Scammers everywhere!!!

 

Wow, Nikki, this is a nasty scam with who knows what as the desired scammy outcome. Access to personal information? Money? QAnon recruitment?

Please keep us posted on what you find out. Hopefully Indeed isn't actually the scam perpetrator and they'll be able to follow the trail to those who are.

 

Cold calls from scammers are an increasing nuisance, usually with an Indian accent. I regularly get calls, supposedly from "Amazon" regarding a £££ purchase I've just made on my credit card and "press 1 to dispute the purchase and get a refund to your card".
I also have a Sky TV contract and get calls, pretending to be from them, regarding a maintenance contract to cover the TV boxes. I had 4 calls from them in December, 2 of them claiming to be "Veronica from Sky" and they were 2 completely different voices. Not even sure if one of them wasn't a bloke. The fact that bank and credit card accounts are getting much harder to hack means tricking people into giving details over the phone is much easier and obviously worthwhile because people do fall for it. Bastards.

 

"They are really not that bright." Probably why they are attempting a scam to begin with. Please continue to update us, Nikki!

 

They don’t have to be clever
Just gotta find the right victims
Had to take my mothers bank card away from her
Her bank account was emptied TWICE before I realised what was going on and put a stop to it all
FECKIN BASTIDS

 

I'd guess from a job site the two most likely targets are bank details or National Insurance number. NI number is handy for money laundering or credit card accounts, or fake ID. They could ask for bank details to make payments to you or send you hooky cheques before asking you to send some of its value via Western Union or similar. Then you discover the cheque's a dud and you're out of pocket. Anyway, you've nipped it in the bud, so well done you

 

Another scam call I get now and then is (supposedly) from my internet provider who can see some problem with my connection as they're receiving "errors" from my router which they can fix by remote access to my PC. I used to just hang up but, having worked in IT for some years, I have a bit of fun wasting their time by asking them about the problem, CRC, FEC, latency, ping times etc etc before telling them to FECK OFF!

 

Sounds like you know a lot about running a scam Al.

 

I've had this quite a few times now, always claim it's a problem with BT internet provider (even though we're not with them). Last time the Indian sounding chap he got quite arsey with me because I argued with him and insisted that I turn my pc on so he could fix the problem. I insisted that he should f*ck off!

 

Watched a few of those revenge vids on Youtube where hackers syskey the crook's computer and start deleting files while they're on the phone. Quite fun

He's great at scambaiting.
Well worth a look if yer bored!

 

You still could be a detective, Nikki! Maybe that's that new job you were looking instead of one through Indeed.

 

the one where he gets one going for 16hrs is great.
The scammer loses his mind when he/she redeems the cards.
I think it's down as his angriest scammer ever.
Brilliant!
