  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?

    source

    • kat_angstrom@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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.

      Are you crazy?? You can’t trust a 21 year old to have a refined enough palette to be a restaurant evaluator!

  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

    That does make sense. I don’t use WhatsApp, so I know nothing about it.

    That user does not appear to be reliable. They were also advertising a zero click iPhone exploit and got banned.

  You know it’s legit when they ask you to move the conversation over to WhatsApp.

  source

  • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

  Iphone users can never be evil, I have learned that from watching films.

  It’s legit…

  Legitimately a scam.

  • Xanis@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    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.

  The scam is called pig butchering.

  • Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It is a scam but not sure this falls into pig butchering. Pig butchering is more of a romance scam.

      Ah. It seems to fit this sort of scam. Didn’t realize the tiddies were a necessary component.

      The broken calculator is experimenting, that’s why it made this very specific request.

  Why is there a range on payment for training? You’d think that’d be standardized.

  source

  • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It’s based on your training GPA.

• FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  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. These people should be in jail.

  • Bonehead@kbin.social ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    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.
