  Me: Common social media job and employment scams Ai: Common social media job and employment scams prey on job seekers’ hopes for flexible, high-paying, or remote work. Scammers post fake ads on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and WhatsApp, or send unsolicited messages. Reports to the FTC have surged, with task-based scams and fake offers driving significant losses. consumer.ftc. gov Most Common Types of Social Media Job Scams 1. Fake Job Offers / “Too Good to Be True” Postings
Scammers advertise high-paying remote roles (e.g., virtual assistant, data entry, social media manager, customer service) requiring little experience or effort. They promise quick money for easy tasks. • These often start with vague posts or DMs on Facebook/Instagram groups, LinkedIn, or WhatsApp. • Red flags: Unrealistic salaries, “work from home, watch your kids,” no interview, or immediate offers. heimdalsecurity. com 2. Upfront Payment / Equipment Purchase Scams
After “hiring” you, they ask you to pay for training, background checks, software, or equipment (e.g., a laptop or MacBook via a fake check). They promise reimbursement that never comes. • Common in “tech recruiter” or remote role scams. The check bounces, leaving you in debt. linkedin. com 3. Task-Based / “Gig” Scams (e.g., Like/Follow/Subscribe or Review Tasks)
You complete small paid tasks (liking videos, subscribing to channels, reviewing products) on social media or apps. Initial small payments build trust, then they require you to pay larger “deposits” or fees to unlock bigger earnings. These often tie into money mule schemes. bbb. org 4. Fake Recruiter / Impersonation Scams
Fraudsters create profiles mimicking real companies (e.g., Meta, major corporations) or use stolen photos/AI-generated images. They contact you unsolicited on LinkedIn, WhatsApp, or Instagram with personalized offers. • They may push conversations to private apps, request personal info, or lead to phishing. blog.defend-id. com 5. Check-Cashing / Money Mule Scams
Often disguised as mystery shopper, nanny, caregiver, or personal assistant roles. You receive a fake check to “test” or buy supplies, cash it, and wire money back—keeping a cut. The check bounces, and you’re liable. forbes. com 6. Phishing / Data Harvesting Scams
They ask for SSN, bank details, or login info during “onboarding” or fake interviews (often via chat apps). Some use deepfakes or lead to malware. heimdalsecurity. com 7. MLM / Pyramid Scheme Jobs
Positions disguised as sales or recruitment roles that require buying inventory or recruiting others. scamwatch. gov. au Other variants include fake “appointment setter” roles starting on social media or AI-generated fake companies/websites. Key Red Flags (From FTC, BBB, and Studies) • Unsolicited contact via DM, text, or social media for a job you didn’t apply to. indeed. com • Pressure/urgency to apply or start immediately. • Requests for payment (never pay to get a job—legitimate employers pay you). • Vague or misleading descriptions, poor grammar, or no company details. • Suspicious contact info (e.g., Gmail instead of company email, new profiles). • Interviews via WhatsApp, Telegram, Google Hangouts, or text only (no video or in-person). edmontonpolice. ca • Too-good-to-be-true pay for minimal work. consumer. gov • New or incomplete social media/company profiles.

  @asaingainz I just tried it with a blank account and created a gmail to make sure. First I got email, in this image, clicked join discord server then it loaded the page on the right then I click that on the top and it took me to discord and said invite accept. Please let me know if it worked. I just had someone else try and it worked for them as well. I’m not sure if something maybe didn’t go right. Let me check to see if it shows any alerts in my Linktree notifications of granted access

  @JamesMarti30938 Funkyscore sounds cool, good luck getting it through to launch. Quick tip on the Gmail collection: getting their address is just step one, each person still has to opt in through the closed testing link you send and keep the app installed the full 14 days to register as active toward production. Grab more than 12 as a buffer too, since if active testers drop below 12 the clock can effectively restart. And if the route gets patchy on the last few, Prime Test Lab handles the tester side so you can lock in the 14 days without chasing anyone down.

  Opera GX had a flaw that let a malicious website silently install a GX mod and use it to pull data from pages a victim visited. In a proof of concept, a Gmail address was reconstructed from one visit with no click/approval from the user. Opera has patched the issue and says it found no evidence of exploitation in the wild. Keep your browser updated and treat unexpected add-ons as a warning sign and remember that small browser features can become real attack surfaces.

  𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸? We hit send and the message arrives. Underneath that is a system with no built-in authentication and optional encryption, which is held together by 50 years of patches. Around 376 billion emails move every day, and close to half are spam. Here is the path each mail takes: 𝟭. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 When we hit send, the client submits the message to a server on port 587, which checks our login, stamps a message-ID, and passes it on. 𝟮. 𝗘𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 It is store-and-forward. If the receiving server is down, the message waits in a queue and retries on a back-off schedule: 5 minutes, 30 minutes, then hours, up to four or five days. Instant delivery just means the queue cleared fast. 𝟯. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 SMTP carries two "from" values. The envelope (MAIL FROM) routes the message between servers, while the header (From:) is the one we read. SMTP never checks that they match, and that gap is why phishing works. 𝟰. 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 SMTP shipped with no way to prove who sent a message. So the industry added SPF (a list of authorized IPs), then DKIM (a cryptographic signature) to cover SPF's gaps, then DMARC to make the visible From: match one of them. Three DNS setups, all easy to misconfigure. 𝟱. 𝗘𝗻𝗰𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 Email uses opportunistic TLS. The sending server asks if the receiver supports STARTTLS, encrypts if yes, and falls back to plain text if no. For Gmail or Outlook client connections it is effectively mandatory, but server to server it stays optional. TLS also protects the connection, not the content, so the servers read everything. 𝟲. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 A delivered message lands in the inbox, bounces with a 5xx error the sender sees, or gets moved to spam with no notice to anyone. RFC 5321 permits that last one. Email was built in the 1970s for a small network of researchers who trusted each other. Nobody planned for banking or phishing. Billions of messages still arrive correctly every day on top of all of it.

  If Your Gmail Isn't Secure, Your Bank Account Could Be at Risk. Your Gmail is connected to your banking apps, UPI accounts, social media, shopping websites and many other online services. If cyber criminals gain access to your Gmail, they may be able to reset passwords, intercept important emails and take control of other accounts linked to it. That's why securing your Gmail is one of the most important steps in protecting your digital life. Use a strong, unique password, enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), keep your recovery email and phone number updated, and review your login activity regularly. Your Gmail is more than an email account. It's the key to your digital identity. Protect it before someone else does.

  Hiring a random AI dev to "transform" your business is the single most expensive mistake a founder can make right now. Not because it costs 10K. Because it costs you 2 months believing the problem is solved while it quietly isn't. I've watched this exact ending happen to enough founders this year that I could time it. You've been sold a lie dressed up as convenience. A $100/month Cowork subscription does not run a company. It runs a HOBBY. You could hand every founder the best model in the world tomorrow and this problem doesn't move an inch. What happens at 2am when something breaks and nobody's watching it? If you're clearing $500K a year off a Gmail inbox, a shared Google Sheet, and a Notion board, fine, plug in whatever you want. You never had problems deep enough to expose the gap. If you're running $2M through six people, three vendors, and a CRM nobody actually trusts, you already know exactly how deep this goes. Even "AI project management" for ten people is not wiring Fireflies into Claude into ClickUp and calling it done. A real project manager does not hand out tasks. He knows who's on the other end of every single one. The guy who's missed three of his last four deadlines and still swears he's on track. The one who goes quiet the moment he's stuck instead of raising his hand. The one who needs the deadline said twice, and the one who never forgives you for saying it twice. An AI reading a transcript knows none of that. It's a faster to-do list. It has never met your team. It never will. You already live this. You still carry 90% of the real weight whether you've hired three people or thirty. Every hard call still lands on your desk, every time. That is not a hiring problem. That is a system that was never taught who anyone actually is. Here's the fix, stripped to what it actually is: One file. Per person. Not a personality writeup. → What they're good at → Exactly how they fail, dated, specific, tracked over months → The rule that follows directly from the failure. Not policy. Consequence. This is the Operating Brain. Not a slide in a deck. A file that gets corrected. A competitor can steal the idea over a weekend. He cannot steal the file. The file only exists after the same mistake gets caught and corrected three separate times, months apart, on a real person. That's the moat nobody is pricing in. Not the model. Not the folder. Not the prompt. What's described and what's actually running are the same thing. Your job is building the business. The Brain's job is never forgetting who's actually in it. Centralize the data first. Build the brain before you build anything else. Everyone chasing the shiny dashboard is going to find this out the expensive way.

  🚨 LET’S TALK ABOUT HACKED GOOGLE ACCOUNTS AND LOSING ACCESS A Google account is more than just a Gmail address. It’s the gateway to your emails, photos, documents, passwords, YouTube channel, and countless other services connected to your digital life. When a Google account is compromised, many users don’t realize what’s happened until they’re completely locked out. Some of the most common situations include: • Passwords being changed without permission. • Recovery email or phone number being updated by someone else. • Suspicious login alerts from unfamiliar devices or countries. • Receiving a message saying Google can’t verify you’re the owner. • Losing access to Gmail, Google Drive, Google Photos, and YouTube. • Security checks preventing you from signing back in. What many users don’t realize is that Google’s recovery system depends on digital evidence—not just knowing your password. Unfortunately, many people make the situation worse by: ❌ Repeatedly guessing passwords. ❌ Trying to recover the account from different devices and locations. ❌ Ignoring Google’s security alerts. ❌ Falling for fake “Google Support” scams. ❌ Waiting too long before securing other linked accounts. A compromised Google account can affect much more than your inbox. It can expose your personal information, business files, saved passwords, cloud backups, and access to other platforms connected to your Google account. The stronger your security and recovery information, the greater your chances of protecting your account before a hacker ever gets in. Because in today’s digital world, your Google account is your digital identity. #teamdangeorge #GoogleAccountRecovery

  5/ The real fix: stop relying on the web server. Route email through SMTP so every message carries proof of identity (SPF and DKIM). That's what tells Gmail and Outlook the email really came from your domain.

  @_MetaEarth_ Innovation is important, but so is trust. Please urgently fix the login issue affecting existing accounts registered with Gmail addresses containing a "+" (plus sign).

  Ray-Ban Meta glasses are good and all, but it's high time they address these problems: 1. No live video analysis. The glasses take a picture, process it, and then return. Feels slow compared to Gemini. 2. App ecosystem is limited. Yes, you can connect Gmail and Calendar, but the glasses should connect to a host of apps, with devs given the option to build for it. 3. Finally, the AI needs to improve, with better answering and memory to remember context from previous conversations.

  Notifications are the smoking of our generation. Here's how I quit (as CEO of a 220-person company): I get pinged 183 times a day. And I'm a slow processor: I need to sit with a message, think, then respond. For a founder drowning in Slack and email, that's a problem. So I built a system. Not perfect, but it gave me my focus back. 1. Every notification needs a clear owner. If someone pings me, the system has failed. The default should be "go to this person", not "go to the founder." Took a year to build. Worth it. 2. Only a handful of people reach me directly. My executive team. That's basically it. For everyone else, we run a 15-minute daily sync: "I won't answer pings all day. But in these 15 minutes, ask me anything." 3. Delegate ruthlessly. Then trust the filter. Assistants manage my Slack, LinkedIn, and Gmail. I see maybe 3 emails a day - everything else isn't important enough. Now the honest part: this is expensive. And your team won't always do it as well as you would. Partnerships, sales, escalations - people want the founder. But I can't do it all. That's the price of scaling. So you let your team do their best. Keep raising the bar. And resist the urge to grab it all back. Not perfect. But I can finally breathe again.

  ALWAYS follow up on your emails if you don't hear back. Gmail spam filters are extremely aggressive. If you have lower than expected inbox placement despite having a good domain reputation or just an individual, make it a habit to send follow-up emails. Just a single follow-up on a thread can bump you into the inbox. Which is how I discovered the problem in the first place.
