This is a version of Remote Job Offer Text from Fake Recruiter.
We Are Hiring — Remote Online Evaluator Text Message Scam
You receive a text from an unknown number with only an image that says “We Are Hiring — Remote Online Evaluator.” It promises $100–$600 per day for just 1–2 hours of work and asks you to reply “Yes” or “Interested.” There’s no company name, website, or details. If you reply, scammers may try to move you to WhatsApp/Telegram, ask for personal information, copies of your ID, or fees for “training/equipment,” or try to send fake checks or push you into a task/crypto scheme.
What’s different in this version
These traits set this message apart from the usual pattern.
-
Arrives as an image-only MMS with no accompanying text
-
Uses generic poster design and provides no company name or website
-
Promises very high pay for very little work (1–2 hours/day)
-
Pushes for a quick reply with “Yes” or “Interested” to start a chat
-
Likely tries to move the conversation to WhatsApp/Telegram
-
Common next steps include asking for personal details, an upfront fee, or sending a fake check
How this scam works
- 1
Step 1: You receive an unexpected text saying you were ‘selected’ for a flexible remote job with great pay.
- 2
Step 2: The texter claims to represent a known company (for example, a staffing agency or a big retailer) to look legitimate.
- 3
Step 3: They ask you to move the conversation to another number or app and skip any real interview.
- 4
Step 4: They request personal details (ID, bank info) or ask you to pay for training, deposits, or equipment—promising you’ll be reimbursed.
- 5
Step 5: In ‘task’ versions, they have you click, rate, or ‘boost’ products and then pressure you to put in your own money to unlock pay.
- 6
Step 6: Once money or information is sent, the scammer disappears or keeps demanding more.
✓ Do this
- Look up the company and recruiter on your own—use the official website and phone number, not the one in the text.
- Insist on a normal hiring process: application, interview, and company email address.
- If you sent money or info, contact your bank right away, change passwords, and place a fraud alert or credit freeze.
✗ Avoid this
- Don’t pay any fee for a job or ‘training.’ Real employers do not charge you to start work.
- Don’t share your Social Security number, driver’s license, or bank details with strangers over text.
- Don’t click links or download apps the texter recommends.
- Don’t continue if the pay sounds unreal (hundreds per day for under two hours of work).
