I received an offer to leave a like in exchange for compensation
I’m writing here because I’m not signed up for user support, but I wanted to reply to the person concerned who received offers regarding the online approval hearts. You don’t need to take offense at the comment he made to you with a Sika emoticon. He is a professional salesperson, and his direct field experience is obviously very extensive on this platform. Despite that, you did the right thing by warning the community. Just read the forum pages to realize that fraud, tricks, and blatant nonsense are the order of the day in transactions. Including the fake graduates who sometimes ask for advice on how to move in the sales world and get real feedback from users. The scam you’re talking about, which I haven’t yet seen directly on the site, starts in January of this year when a fake 'recruiter' appears on WhatsApp promising payment in exchange for a Like on some YouTube videos.
These online scammers target a user base of people just starting out who often don’t immediately think of a scam. The scammer counts on an initial attention response because today on the web, scams as old as the world are being dusted off, but with a digital disguise they seem more credible. The point isn’t the Likes (which nobody gives a damn about) but the user’s responses, from which the release of sensitive data is required in order to receive the agreed payment. Simple, right? It’s possible that with suitable variations adapted to an online platform, this Like scam will appear more significantly in the near future. It’s useful to be cautious in any case. I remember, just as a joke, that in the very early 60s a man ran an ad offering, for 50 lire, as many as 20 very useful household tools made of solid material, at a knockdown price. He got order after order, my father told me. He shipped 20 tailor’s pins all over Italy ❤️ Pins or Likes, they go hand in hand.
