How to Spot a Job Scammer

By someone who still gets their damn texts

Scammers are despicable, but job scammers? Here’s a way to handle them.

The first time I mentioned them was in my post, “Get a Job!”, which was a rant about, how there I was, unemployed, trying to find work, and I was getting nothing but texts from job scammers. And companies are complaining people “don’t wanna work”.

What sparked this post was, on Apr. 15th, I received, another, text from a job scammer. After having gotten so many, I’m pretty damn good at identifying them. I mentioned it to my partner and said I should make a video about it. Right now, my videos are limited to video games and books, and YouTube doesn’t exactly reward straying from your niche, but I liked the idea. So, I decided I’d write a blog post about it.

Below are screenshots of a scam text I received, phone number and all:

Red Flags:

Typos: this is a text about a job position. One would expect it to be as professionally written as possible.

Company name is in parenthesis.

Pay rate is too good to be true.

They mix up the gender of the individual who would be doing the interview.

Possible Red Flags:

Getting more details during the interview. Every interview I remember was me providing details, not the other way around.

Job ID.

When I see red flags, I look up the company I suspect they are claiming to be from and check their Careers page. No data entry positions. And at the bottom of page it says:

Beware of fraudulent job postings: While apree health job advertisements may be found on many sites, our current openings page and its associated Jobvite account are the only places we accept applications for open roles. If you suspect a job post is fraudulent, please let us know at recruiting@apree.health.

I don’t remember seeing this when I was first doing the research. Either I wasn’t paying attention or they added it after I sent them a message about the scam using their Contact page, which I try to do every time I’m sent a text or email from a scammer to protect others. If I’m able to forward the email, I do.

Also, report the text as spam and block the number.

Well, this is all the education I have for today! Thank you for reading.

May every decision you make be in the spirit of fairness and may the rest of your day NOT go to $#!7!

Trading Dreams Turned Nightmare: Exposing the Dark Realities of Siaw Jun Kit's 'Behind a True Trader'

Unveiling the Exploitative Web of Siaw Jun Kit's Modern Slavery in "Behind a True Trader" By Amir Shayan In the vast landscape of job opportunities, an advertisement on LinkedIn caught my attention—a chance to become a trader for a reputable company. The allure of a trader's role in prestigious financial institutions captivated my imagination. Like many others, I believed this job could be a dream come true, offering a substantial monthly salary of $10,000 and a share of the annual profit, estimated to be around $300,000 to $400,000. Little did I know that my journey into the world of trading would expose a dark truth—a reality far removed from the promises made.

Unveiling False Promises:

With a mixture of anticipation and hope, I eagerly applied for the position and embarked on a long waiting period. The company's website hinted at an exceptional situation, fostering my belief that this opportunity was indeed special. Finally, the day of the interview arrived, and I prepared meticulously, expecting to meet seasoned professionals in a sophisticated financial institution. To my surprise, the setting was far from what I had imagined. Instead, I found myself in an unfinished office space with rudimentary equipment, clearly unsuitable for a financial institution of repute. The novices comprising the company's workforce exuded anxiety and lacked self-confidence, their unprofessional interactions painting a disconcerting picture.

Exploitative Conditions:

As more candidates joined the interview session, we formed a group of about 10 to 12 hopeful individuals. However, what unfolded was not an interview, but rather a disheartening briefing that seemed reminiscent of the horrors faced by those forced to work in Nazi concentration camps. It was during this session that the company unveiled the shocking truth about the working conditions. The initial promise of a monthly salary of $10,000 was shattered as we were informed that traders would be paid a mere 10 ringgits per hour—approximately $2.40—an amount far below expectations. To exacerbate matters, only half of this amount would be paid during the first two months. In essence, for the initial two months of work, traders would receive a meager 5 ringgits per hour, barely enough to cover basic living expenses. This compensation was even lower than what janitorial staff and laborers earned, an alarming revelation that left us stunned.

Behind a True Trader

Siaw Jun Kit's Deception author of Behind a True Trader:

The pinnacle of this disheartening experience came when Siaw Jun Kit, the author of "Behind a True Trader," emerged as the executive director of this exploitative system. It was at this moment that the true nature of his intentions began to unravel. Siaw Jun Kit meticulously outlined the hiring process, skillfully manipulating us with promises of rewards and incentives tied to successful trading. However, it quickly became evident that this system was designed to keep traders perpetually chasing elusive rewards, while subjecting them to severe penalties for even the most common trading mistakes. It became clear that Siaw Jun Kit's intentions were far from noble—he had crafted a web of deceit that exploited the aspirations and dreams of unsuspecting individuals, leaving them trapped in a cycle of disappointment and financial loss.

A Warning to Others:

My personal encounter with Siaw Jun Kit's modern slavery system, as chronicled in his book "Behind a True Trader," serves as a stark warning to others. Countless individuals will inevitably fall victim to this scheme, drawn in by the allure of promising opportunities that mask exploitative intentions. As new recruits continue to be lured into this web of false promises, they too will find themselves ensnared in a cycle of exploitation, stripped of their rights and dignity. It is imperative that we raise awareness about these deceptive practices and protect others from the clutches of individuals like Siaw Jun Kit. Let this serve as a reminder to exercise caution, question enticing opportunities, and expose the spotted snakes that seek to exploit the dreams and aspirations of unsuspecting individuals.

Conclusion:

My journey into the world of trading, which began with hopes of a dream job, ended in a harrowing awakening to the grim realities of Siaw Jun Kit's system. The promises of lucrative salaries and shared profits were shattered, revealing a twisted scheme of exploitation. As I reflect on my encounter with Siaw Jun Kit's modern slavery system, chronicled in his book "Behind a True Trader," I am reminded of the importance of skepticism and critical thinking when presented with enticing opportunities. May this cautionary tale serve as a beacon, guiding others away from the clutches of deceit and exploitation, and toward a future free from the snares of spotted snakes like Siaw Jun Kit.

People who have recently been laid off or are new to the #workforce should exercise caution while applying to firms and employment portals since #jobscams are on the rise in the dull hiring market.

Notify the employer where you found the job posting as well as the job board if you believe you have come across a scam.

Job Scams: What Happens There Will Happen Anywhere

 I explain the significance of the following events in the past two weeks should inform us of what is to come in #jobscams, job fishing, and recruiter scams. The FTC categorizes them as imposter scams (FTC, 2/9/24). "ResumeLooters" refers to scammers accessing and stealing private information from job portals in Asia. In the U.S., we need to start taking precautions to protect our information on any portals we signed up for to fill out applications and resumes posted. One action (if you haven't already) is to use a third-party phone number like a Google number. Many people use Zelle or Cash App already, and if it's the same number on an attacked job portal, the possibilities may be endless (or my imagination is running too wild). Consider how recruiters can bait unsuspecting job seekers via text citing a platform where a real profile resides. They will sell the number to other scammers, creating an endless cycles of fake jobs from various sources.

You are more than welcome to join the discussion. Here are three ways you can:

– Call and leave a voicemail at 708-365-9822, or text your comments to the same number

– Go to TheVoiceofJobSeekers.com, press the “Send Voicemail” button on the right side of your screen and leave a message
