Actually do you know why scammers have your contacts? Those job seekers who put their resumes in the skills future (or is it careers future) portal for potential employers to read. The scammers just need to register themselves as an “employer” to gain access to your details.

I think they are wiser now.  No payment until you answer survey AND carry out further tasks for $12 Big Grin

Alamak no more lobang to scam the scammers.

Job matching is a scam in itself. Employers can just add silly criteria in job advertisement and say resumes collected are all mismatch.

Among the various measures they have to implement one of them is to block  large transfers to other accounts and preventing back to back transfers from transfee account overseas

That’s why so easy to be scammed. They are seeking jobs and probably quite desperate to make money.

Job seekers should close their profiles once they have found jobs.  They should not be surprised that scammers know their full names and contact numbers because all these are taken from the database.

It is unlikely he can save so much as a SOfficer but rather from his previous job before he was forced to downgrade. This is what makes him eager to get a new job with better pay.
