Another *edited* scam job posting

Hello community,

 

I just found another **Edited for Community Guidelines** scam job posting on Upwork. The client in question asked me to download Telegram to conduct the interview on that platform.

 

Do not fall for these scams! There were clear grammatical errors in the questions they were asking. Large corporations such as Philips do NOT conduct interviews on Telegram.

 

Here is the job posting I am referring to: 

**Edited for Community Guidelines**

 

Please stays safe out there. I am disappointed that I had to use 6 Connect points to apply to this scam...

You are right about the signs, but all you have to do is see "Telegram" and know for a fact it is a definite scam.

 

Report the scammer to Support, and you will receive your connects back when they see the scammer was trying to go off-platform.
