Double Check

Is the $45/hour remote data entry job offer a scam?

The message someone received
Congratulations! Your resume was selected for a remote Data Entry position. Earn $45/hour working 2-3 flexible hours daily. No experience needed. Reply YES or add our HR manager on Telegram @hrjobsdirect to start immediately.
Why it is a job scam
This is a fake job offer. Real employers do not hire by text, pay $45 an hour for unskilled work, or run interviews over Telegram. These schemes end in requests for your bank details or an upfront 'equipment fee'.
What to do
Do not reply and do not contact anyone on Telegram. If you are job hunting, apply only through the company's own website or established job boards. Delete the message.
