Scammers are posing as employers and targeting students! I'll share what I learned in this video by applying for one of those jobs myself :)
Check out my online course called Smartphone Safety Pro if you have young person who's getting ready to own a smartphone and you don't want them getting scammed!

No that doesn't make sense. Pleasant warned Kelly and after that the Scammer still insisted on the money and wanted to send more information to Pleasant.If Kelly was in on it he would have just told the Scammer that he is getting baited by pleasant but clearly he didn't because he himself started to Bait the Scammer. The first theory Pleasant put up at the end seems to be what is most likely. At no point did Kelly anything to "rat" Pleasant out

I’m sure Kelly would be able to put everything together for himself that it was a scam before Ben told him and mention it in their initial conversation.

I had been searching for an on-campus job and mistakenly fell for a scam that resulted in me losing a couple hundred dollars and getting my bank account closed due to a fake check. It was a very traumatic experience and I wouldn't wish it on anyone else. I hope that the videos you are creating are helping to raise awareness about these scams.

She said just being someone personal assistant for a few hours and an easy browsing the net. I know right away that this check is a scam. I told her to block the phone# and email, and never answer to that # again. Life lesson learn... when you feel that thing is being offered to you is too good to be true, it is most likely something wrong about it, in this case it is a scam.

I looked into it a bit more and it was pretty obvious it was a scam, so I did a fake interview with them and answered their questions in pretty ridiculous ways, causing them to act 'tough' and ask questions like "Is this an appropriate answer in an interview??', etc. They had terrible grammar, similar to the scammers you deal with. In any case, they got frustrated and stopped talking to me as most of my interview answers pointed out that it was a scam. Good times.

When I was applying for jobs, there was an ad for a well-known travel agency. It was during lockdown so it was work from home and I was immediately 'accepted'. All of the correspondance came from (company) but at a yahoo address so I knew I wasn't dealing with the same company (who I let know immediately that they were using their name and logo). They had zoom 'interviews' so I signed on and the 'interview' was just a presentation of people in nice clothes and perfect teeth and clips with current employees saying how great it was to work there with phrases like "we're more like a family than a job" and "I paid back all my student loans with my commissions" etc. but they didn't ever say what the job is. Just that I could work there and I, too, could have nice jackets and perfect teeth - and an all expenses paid company holiday somewhere exotic. I only watched about 10 minutes. Then I got an email "We noticed you didn't watch all of the video". I said "you didn't say what the job is." so they stopped. I DID...however get them to stop using the travel agent's name and logo though.

I was recently in a class at the local college. The kids I was in class with were unlikely to fall for this, but then it was a computer security course🤣🤣🤣 And, the internships were orchestrated by a professor that knew you, often in person. Nevertheless, I understand your point. My Dad who had built and troubleshooted computers as I hobby p, and who had to deal with calling Microsoft to install some OEM software, did fall for one of the Microsoft calls. He was about 96 at the time and actually fairly security savvy. When he suspected this was a scam he called Microsoft who worked to try to trap the guy and restore what had been damaged. I found out in the middle of the mess because he asked me what else he needed to do -- like freeze its accounts. Unfortunately I had to tell him he had to change all his passwords 3 double column 4-line entries. He did those from a different device. What a mess. He did call the credit card immediately, before calling me, and they trapped the charge.

This is why I subscribed to this channel. The scammers live in a world much different than the rest of us live in. The reason why they hate the world of reality because just about each time you turn on the news, there are always reports of violent crime such as shootings. If we tell the scammers that their tiny little world is about to be scrapped, we are automatically guilty of bullying. To me, it would serve them right for all the nonsense they have caused.

I encountered a job scam last year. Most things seemed legit and I was hopeful- the company was a real company, the person I spoke with had a LinkedIn profile. I had a written “interview” through Microsoft Teams, and then I had a second interview over the phone with a guy with a strong Indian accent. They asked for my sensitive personal information and that’s when I started to feel fishy. I eventually got in touch with the real company and they weren’t hiring

Sending written letters just isn't a common thing in today's world, and it's ridiculous to think that the world is "doomed" because a young adult doesn't just automatically know how to do these things. I'm sure there's plenty of antiquated activities that were common before our time that us older folks would struggle to perform.

@@joshua.harazin I agree. But it is a failure not just in schools, but with lazy parents. Until the postal service and physical mail goes out of every society on Earth, this basic skill needs to be taught. It's not like we have to teach our kids the art of churning butter, but simple things that are still required at some point in a life, like learning cursive for signatures on paper, need to be taught. No excuses. I was being sarcastic when stating we are doomed. But we are losing basic, critical thinking skills and relying too much on tech to help us live our life.
