The Job Scam

Ever had one of these messages come in on WhatsApp. I did. I thought why not? I gave it a bash and I then received my R50!

*My name is Minenhle assistant HR Manager from Pivotal (Pty) Ltd. Nice to meet you! I hope you're having a wonderful day. We have a part time work offer that requires no experience and pays well. Your role is to make a pleasant review and add stars after get paid 50 Rand immediately after finishing, you can treat this job as part time and earn extra (1000 - 2500 Rand per day)*

I was then moved to a Telegram group. Eventually when I started to question them this is their response..

**Are you stupid? Can't you just do as I say Don't ask so many questions.
You do what you're told. If you know you're stupid, don't talk so much. Now visit https://coinskillhub.top and get back to me: [OK].**

Yup. This week on the Real Scam, Tracey Grummett and I discuss job scams and what to look out for.
