Description

I received this text message from unknown email address: I'm Beerud Sheth from Upwork Freelancing Platform (US) and we're looking for Americans 21+ to help the hotel booking platform optimize bookings and reviews, increase visibility and bookings with free training. We offer part-time and full-time jobs, 5 days a week, 60 to 90 minutes a day, flexible hours and locations (based on your own schedule), and a base per diem of $300 to $800. $100 for 2 consecutive business days, $800 for 5 consecutive business days, and $1,500 for 15 consecutive business days. If you earn $3,800 for 30 consecutive work days, you will receive a base salary allowance of $6,200 for one consecutive month. Paid annual leave: in addition to statutory holidays such as maternity leave and paternity leave. Regular employees are entitled to 5-15 days of paid annual leave. If you are interested, you can contact our employer via WhatsApp: +12262217114 for more information! I sent a WhatsApp message and they explained the same thing , asked for my age and if I had a SSN. And if I were available to do a training of 1h and I would gain commission for completing the training. They said the SSN was to be able to be paid via transfer after completing tasks. But they would never use it. Insisting so much it was legit. I was searching online if this was a scam saw somebody posted the same message here. I didn’t accept to take the training. Is this a scam ?
