Charming. The vultures swoop in for the unemployed- Update

[Visitor Q]

So. Applied for a job in the newspaper for 'Data Admin Clerk - Send CV and Cover letter to [address]'.
My original thought was some horrible office job transcribing reams of data into spreadsheets.

Got a text friday afternoon (4.30) telling me to phone asap on an 0844 number. They're not premium rate ones so ended up staying on the bastard phone for half an hour waiting, then they cut me off at 5.10 as they'd all buggered off ().

Phoned today, and got told to go to to this site and email to show I've read it.

Blinding. Complete and obvious blatant scam. Haven't even got a clue whether the number I rang is premium somehow (bet I'll find out soon enough), and I'm not sure how to shop them in before anyone gets suckered in to it.

Hell. At least someone is profiting from the economic misery

Ha. Even google ads knows it.

I thought all the "Earn £££s working from home" affairs were scams ?

I'm sure I've seen that before - I think it may be money laundering for 419 scams IIRC...

edit: my bad, it's not that exciting - just a plain old scam.

[Visitor Q]

Well the instant 'this is a scam' alarm bell was the 'one off low fee of £25 to cover costs'

Aka.

Join up. The local office is full, would you like to work from your warm and comfy home instead. Send £25. Never hear anything else.

Tis annoying as in hindsight the ad is very obviously a scam, but at the time it just looked like an idiot advertising a shit job.

Arseholes.

0844 numbers are either local or national rate, not premium so that part of it wasn't a scam.

However, if you were calling from a mobile it might of cost a couple of quid.

Last thing you want when you're unemployed though!

Bastards!

Hi

Just send them some bricks in the post without stamps on them (get to the post box just after the collection so you don't destroy anyone elses post).

All the best

Hi

Bricks cost them money.

Or you could just send them empty envelopes so they have to pay to check they are not important.

All the best

Hi

Depends. Remember it needs to go into a post box to go without a stamp so needs to be pretty slim.

All the best

Smash them up first so it's a big bag of gravel.

I found this little gem, maybe you could recreate it successfully?

Scams that prey on the jobless are distusting, as many are so eager for a job interview that they dont see the signs.

Hang in there bonny, im sure something will come up
