Scammers gonna scam

By BlackHoleSun. - 05/06/2022 16:00

Today, it was the day that I had been waiting for weeks to arrive: I finally finished the hiring process for my new job… Only to find out not only my paycheck, but the job itself was fake. Thanks Indeed, my first new bank account after years of debt, my disability, and my will to live greatly appreciate it. FML

Why the hell would someone go to the trouble of creating a fake job posting? What is it these weirdos want for that?

They scam the person by sending a check that hopefully can get "cleared" and have them go buy supplies to be sent somewhere or "overpay" them and request money back. Meanwhile, the check actually bounces and the scammed individual is on the hook for the money. The scammer gets the goods or money and on to the next victim! They also have the person's personal info to start messing up their credit! Pretty shitty situation because they prey on desperate people with the promise of a good payday.

“Indeed” is the name of a job posting website. Apparently the job OP found was through Indeed, but it was all smoke and mirrors. Any kind of remote job you find online, look into the company and verify. There’s so many scams and scammers out there, and they don’t care who they screw over or how badly they mess up your life. They’re ruthless.
