I noticed several posts in which someone is allegedly looking for a "remote assistant." However, these posts have some obvious spelling errors and typos; "picks" instead of "piques," and a last name not capitalized. Could someone from FGB please review those posts to make sure they are legitimate? I would hate for someone to be scammed on what is usually a helpful website. Thank you!

    I received a DM from someone asking me if I would like to be their virtual assistant.

    Sadly, I would advise you to be very cautious and not disclose any sensitive personal information. If they say they are with a certain company, I would check the Better Business Bureau, make sure they're legit, and contact the company directly if it appears to be a real opportunity. Most people are struggling to get a job despite sending multiple resumes, going to interviews, etc.; it is a bit suspicious when the job appears to be looking for you instead of you looking for the job.

    We need to report those users and get them removed from this platform. The last thing we need are scammers.
