What’s happening

Unsolicited messages offer easy work rating products or liking videos. Victims are paid small amounts at first, then asked to deposit money to unlock bigger tasks.

Warning signs

  • Pressure to act immediately.
  • Requests to keep it secret.
  • Unusual payment methods or new payees.

Protect yourself

  • Real employers never ask you to pay to work.
  • Ignore unsolicited job offers on messaging apps.
  • Block and report the account.
