Scam

Do you recognise this? Is this a scam? 

I received this message from an unknown number from telegram: 

You do not need to pay a registration fee for this service. It is unlimited work anytime, anywhere without interrupting your current activities. Give me 5 minutes and you will get today's salary

Now I will give you 1 simple test task that will take only 5 minutes, complete it and you will get $5 bonus. Although this is a trial job, we will pay you $5 as a reward for understanding the workflow.

All you have to do is add the items to your eBay cart (you don't have to pay an entry fee or buy anything) and provide me with a screenshot. You get 5-20 USD for each task. and you can earn more up to 250-300 USD per day in your spare time.

Click the "Add Product to Cart" link below and send me a screenshot: 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

 

Product link: www.ebay.com/itm/386594822216

You don't need to buy anything, just add the item to your cart and send me a simple screenshot.

It's gotta be a scam, but I'm not sure I see their angle.  Tough to say what they would get, unless they do something like requiring you to pay to receive your "money" (which you would likely then never receive).

...because that is the way all legitimate businesses advertise... 😂

 

That 'company' address is simply a suburban house. Whether or not they are really behind that spam message the whole idea makes no sense at all.

 

What they will gain from you is your email address when you send them the requested screenshot (not clear if that Ebay listing really has anything to do with the spammer - it could be any listing at all) and your bank account info when they ask you where to send your supposed 'salary' payment.

 

Just ignore and delete. You will not get rich but you may get phished.

Yes that is a very common scam.   It starts like that and over time they ask for more and more info.    Do not reply to it.

Yes as others have said it is a "task" scam. In addition that link goes to a old used fitbit for $300..you can get a new one for half that price. Sounds like a scam all the way around.

Sounds like an updated online shopping version of the classic pyramid scheme.

Your instincts are correct.  It is a SCAM.  If you have already given them some info about you.  Get busy and change your passwords on anything you gave them.
