‘Earn up to £800 a day’: job scammers using calls or texts to lure victims
Scammers are targeting people with too-good-to-be-true job offers via calls or texts, promising up to £800 a day for simple tasks like liking and sharing TikTok posts. But there’s a catch—once you bite, they demand an upfront fee to "unlock" those big earnings. It’s a classic bait-and-switch, preying on folks looking for easy money.
