My GF has two nibbles on her resume, and both want her to communicate through either Signal or Telegram.

Scam. Wife had the same thing happen, then they asked for banking info.

  Ding! Ding! Winner! Yep, they did the same. She was hopeful, but sketch and red flags won out. Too bad they have her info from her resume, and supposedly 10k applicants…

    Sorry, hopefully she finds something legit soon and the scammers didn’t get enough to do any real harm.

100% scam, nobody uses Signal and Telegram for business unless they are covering up banking fraud.

“Sir or ma’am I assure you it’s safe to send me your banking information. It’s over Signal, so it’s secure. I promise no one can steal it because its encrypted. That’s why we’re not using emails, emails are not secure. We need this information immediately, do not delay.”
