It sounds kind of sketchy, but would someone like monkeymant59h@icloud.com really be dishonest?

Yup, it's a little known secret of our economy that roughly 15% of the populace makes over $10,000 a month evaluating restaurants, aka, eating at them and filing reports.

Those reports are essential for us all, and I for one have been perpetually grateful for the knowledge I have gleaned from them.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 24 points 6 months ago

But why no 21-year-old restaurant evaluators?

[-] kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 49 points 6 months ago

I reached out to The Guild of Restaurant Evaluators to ask, and they told me it was a trade secret. But then when I asked the Restaurant Evaluators Guild, they told me it's for "legal" reasons. But they put "legal" in quotes. The Evaluators Agency told me it was because nobody trusts 21 year olds, but let's face it, of the "big 3", nobody trusts The Evaluators Agency compared to the other two.

This reads like a Terry Pratchett quote

[-] Daxtron2@startrek.website 12 points 6 months ago

Are you crazy?? You can't trust a 21 year old to have a refined enough palette to be a restaurant evaluator!

WhatsApp has a zero day code execution exploit and that is probably the reason for using WhatsApp, I got a similarly odd text a couple days ago

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

That does make sense. I don't use WhatsApp, so I know nothing about it.

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

I get spam, I reply with goatse

That user does not appear to be reliable. They were also advertising a zero click iPhone exploit and got banned.

[-] odama626@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I would still personally play it safe

[-] TheFunkyMonk@lemmy.world 49 points 6 months ago

You know it’s legit when they ask you to move the conversation over to WhatsApp.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months ago

I'm just surprised it wasn't Microsoft Teams. I've had fake job offers sent to me telling me to contact them over Teams before, but I always sent my resume to them first, thinking they were legitimate. This one was totally unsolicited.

Iphone users can never be evil, I have learned that from watching films.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 40 points 6 months ago

It's legit...

Legitimately a scam.

[-] Xanis@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Kind of a fun one though. Has all the typical flags, though hides them well enough I'd bet they get above average hits. Even the haste part is hiding behind a static number of 50 positions.

I've definitely seen worse.

I may be coming off a rather silly corporate phishing training session complete with a couple incredibly easy to spot emails.

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 33 points 6 months ago

People forgetting to put the /s in here gonna convince some special needs kids to leak their SSN and get ransomware on their phones.

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 31 points 6 months ago

I was sceptical, but the exclamation mark convinced me.

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

what if it had 2?

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 29 points 6 months ago

Totally legit. Source: trust me, bro.

[-] chagall@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

Love job offers that begin with, “I apologize”

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 9 points 6 months ago

For sure. OP should give them their SSN and bank account and get started.

[-] PsychedSy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 6 months ago

The scam is called pig butchering.

[-] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 25 points 6 months ago

It is a scam but not sure this falls into pig butchering. Pig butchering is more of a romance scam.

[-] PsychedSy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 6 months ago

Ah. It seems to fit this sort of scam. Didn't realize the tiddies were a necessary component.

You're going to have to do butt stuff with a broken calculator...

[-] Big_Boss_77@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 6 months ago

Does the broken calculator at least like butt stuff?

[-] Crack0n7uesday@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

The broken calculator is experimenting, that's why it made this very specific request.

[-] Zidane@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months ago

I had a Gaia Online account with the name "Monkey Man" 20ish years ago (jesus where has the time gone) can confirm def legit

[-] misanthropy@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

... Did it have two ns, and were you also on the Nintendo forums?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

So is that what I call you when I contact you on WhatsApp? Or do I call you Zidane?

[-] Zidane@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

You can call me whatever you like ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[-] almost1337@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

Gaia Online... now there's a name I haven't heard in a long time

[-] JCreazy@midwest.social 17 points 6 months ago
[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

normal day stuff? perfectly fine. just not for business stuff like this I'd say.

[-] VeganCheesecake@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 months ago

Not great, still better than SMS.

[-] Neato@ttrpg.network 13 points 6 months ago

Why is there a range on payment for training? You'd think that'd be standardized.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

It's based on your training GPA.

[-] FunkyMonk@kbin.social 12 points 6 months ago

Sweet Jesus, is MLM not even safe? Bots mean to replace the HUN jobs? Deary Deary Deary....

[-] Bonehead@kbin.social 7 points 6 months ago

MLM? This is likely human trafficking. MLMs will gladly take your money, but the face to face interactions are at seminars well after you're hooked on the scam. Traffickers will entice you into "training" at one of their facilities right away.

[-] FunkyMonk@kbin.social 3 points 6 months ago

Well, thats much worse.

[-] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 12 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I get texts for real (but still shitty) job offers. I think texting someone's cellphone for an unprompted job offer should be fucking illegal. I had some fucking clown recruiter call me 5 times, email me 3 times. Leave 2 voicemails, and send me 5 texts. This was all within the span of a god damn fucking HOUR. These people should be in jail.

[-] HewlandRower@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

I get lots of "Hey! We talked last week about your house! Still interested in selling? What's your cash price?" My reply is an upscaled goatse.

[-] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 3 points 6 months ago

This is the only appropriate response.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Damn. I guess I'm glad I'm not in demand.

[-] einlander@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

At the end of training they will have you pay them for training you.

[-] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 2 points 6 months ago

Ah, the old Soviet Russia con
