This is a version of Remote Job Offer Text from Fake Recruiter.
ShopMy Remote Job Offer Text Message with High Daily Pay
Victims receive a text message from someone claiming to be a recruiter at "ShopMy," offering a remote, flexible, part-time job with unusually high pay. The message claims your resume was found on job search sites and promises income between $250-$500 per day for easy tasks like updating product data online. The scammer tries to lure you in with appealing benefits (remote work, paid vacation, flexible hours) and urges you to reply for more information, potentially leading to demands for personal information, upfront fees, or payment scams.
What’s different in this version
These traits set this message apart from the usual pattern.
-
Uses a generic recruiter name ("Betty") and a company name that sounds familiar but is not well-known
-
Offers highly attractive pay and benefits for simple, flexible work
-
Requests that you contact a different phone number for more details
-
Claims your resume was seen on job platforms to make the offer seem personalized
-
May lead to requests for personal or banking information, or upfront "training" fees
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).
