It sounds kind of sketchy, but would someone like monkeymant59h@icloud.com really be dishonest?

    Yup, it’s a little known secret of our economy that roughly 15% of the populace makes over $10,000 a month evaluating restaurants, aka, eating at them and filing reports.

    Those reports are essential for us all, and I for one have been perpetually grateful for the knowledge I have gleaned from them.

      But why no 21-year-old restaurant evaluators?

        I reached out to The Guild of Restaurant Evaluators to ask, and they told me it was a trade secret. But then when I asked the Restaurant Evaluators Guild, they told me it’s for “legal” reasons. But they put “legal” in quotes. The Evaluators Agency told me it was because nobody trusts 21 year olds, but let’s face it, of the “big 3”, nobody trusts The Evaluators Agency compared to the other two.

    WhatsApp has a zero day code execution exploit and that is probably the reason for using WhatsApp, I got a similarly odd text a couple days ago

      I’m just surprised it wasn’t Microsoft Teams. I’ve had fake job offers sent to me telling me to contact them over Teams before, but I always sent my resume to them first, thinking they were legitimate. This one was totally unsolicited.

      Kind of a fun one though. Has all the typical flags, though hides them well enough I’d bet they get above average hits. Even the haste part is hiding behind a static number of 50 positions.

      I’ve definitely seen worse.

      I may be coming off a rather silly corporate phishing training session complete with a couple incredibly easy to spot emails.

    I get texts for real (but still shitty) job offers. I think texting someone’s cellphone for an unprompted job offer should be fucking illegal. I had some fucking clown recruiter call me 5 times, email me 3 times. Leave 2 voicemails, and send me 5 texts. This was all within the span of a god damn fucking HOUR. These people should be in jail.

      MLM? This is likely human trafficking. MLMs will gladly take your money, but the face to face interactions are at seminars well after you’re hooked on the scam. Traffickers will entice you into “training” at one of their facilities right away.
