Recently, scammers have become active in Telegram, offering jobs in online schools. The attackers post ads in anonymous groups, where they are looking for curators. The vacancies look tempting.
Curators are needed in an online school (yes, experience is not required), checking homework according to the checklist, reminding students about upcoming lessons, a two-hour working day.
However, as soon as the user shows interest and responds to the offer, the scammers report that the recruitment is already completed. Instead, they offer more favorable conditions, which are actually a trap. The expert calls this a classic fraud scheme: the victim is diverted from the original offer and offered more risky options.
Law enforcement agencies emphasize that large companies, when offering vacancies, always refer to their official websites and conduct personal interviews. If a person sees an ad without a link to the company's website, then this is a reason to be wary, the Ministry of Internal Affairs emphasizes.
Freelancers, as a rule, look for orders on specialized platforms, where mechanisms are provided to protect both performers and customers.
Freelancers prefer to look for orders on exchanges, where mechanisms are provided to protect the interests of both the performer and the customer. Neither of them offers 3 thousand rubles for two hours of watching videos or reminding students about upcoming lessons
Users should be especially careful and cautious when responding to vacancies on the Internet. You should not trust offers that seem too good to be true.
