Back to Remote Job Offer Text from Fake Recruiter

This is a version of Remote Job Offer Text from Fake Recruiter.

Miramax part-time remote job text promising $230–$480/day

A text claims to be from “Patricia,” a recruiter at Miramax, offering a short part‑time remote job to “boost merchants’ online visibility.” It promises high daily pay for only 60–90 minutes of work, “guaranteed” payouts, paid holidays, and only “3 spots left.” The message tells you to text a different number to continue. This is a common fake job pitch; once you reply, scammers try to move you to another app, collect your personal/banking details, or ask for upfront “deposits” or fees before any payout.

What’s different in this version

These traits set this message apart from the usual pattern.

  1. Uses a well-known film studio name (“Miramax”) instead of the more common “Amazon/Shop rating” or generic company used in other job-text scams.

  2. Claims ultra‑short hours (60–90 minutes/day) with unusually high daily pay and a “$1,000 every 4 days” guarantee.

  3. Adds an age requirement (“25 or older”) and vacation/holiday benefits to sound like a real HR offer.

  4. Includes urgency pressure (“Only 3 spots left”) plus a separate callback number to text, different from the sender.

  5. Mentions “boosting online visibility” for merchants rather than the usual “package likes/rating tasks.”

How this scam works

  1. 1

    Step 1: You receive an unexpected text saying you were ‘selected’ for a flexible remote job with great pay.

  2. 2

    Step 2: The texter claims to represent a known company (for example, a staffing agency or a big retailer) to look legitimate.

  3. 3

    Step 3: They ask you to move the conversation to another number or app and skip any real interview.

  4. 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. 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. 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).
