🐊 KNGT 🐊 | Louisiana — It seems like I've been getting a lot of scam texts recently, I'm not sure about you. It seems like scammers are constantly searching for their next victim and scam. However, they have recently been playing at a much higher level. Check out this recent text I received about a "job offer" that was obviously too good to be true.

As you can see, I've censored some of the text because they included a way to get in touch. Reaching out or interacting in any manner with a scammer is something you should never do.

🚩 Clear Signals It's a fraud.
However, let me point out a few crucial points that immediately shout "scam" about this:

  • I don't have a résumé anywhere, and I'm not looking for a job.
  • I can earn over $250-$500 a day with just 60-90 minutes of labor per day.
  • A genuine business offer wouldn't include a number to text back (most would have an email).

Im guessing this is the new and improved scam for Louisiana residents since the "Unpaid Tolls" Scam didn't really work well for the Bayou State, Do we even have Tolls here?

Additionally, as is customary, this hoax text is riddled with grammatical errors, missing or incorrect spaces, and other errors.

How Can Louisiana Residents Stay Safe With Phone Scams?

  • Avoid clicking on any links.
  • Avoid responding to the message.
  • Don't call any of the numbers listed.
  • Don't exchange emails either, and don't divulge any personal information.

Be careful out there!
