The Story:
Tanel, recently unemployed, came across a Facebook ad: “Get paid daily! Home packing jobs available!”
After a short “interview” via Telegram, he was:
- asked to pay a €35 registration fee,
- told to submit personal details for a “contract,”
- promised a package of supplies (boxes, tape, etc.) in 5 days.
Days passed. Nothing arrived. No responses. He was ghosted.
🚩 Red Flags:
- Job that requires upfront payment
- Only communicates via Telegram or WhatsApp
- No legal company name or contract documentation
- Vague promises like “daily income” with no terms
