I Got Selected For A Job But

I got selected by a company, and I secured a job, yay! Wait that's not usual TheGuy because he will never apply for a job or work in any company. Then how the hell did he earn it? People struggle and sometimes had to pay a bribe to get a job but here, it's saying you are selected.

See this message as a new type of scam, lol. In which I am promised to get 195$ per month which is a kind of survival pay in India here if you live outside cities. Inside the city, this amount is enough for the survival of a single person but for a family, it's not enough and for dreams and other things it's not enough.

Yes, it's a scam. I am very disappointed by this approach because this looks so unprofessional and fake, the scammers should have done more research on how to approach their victims. The poor person lost a possible candidate, haha. At least first learn to write a message then try to scam.

I did try to reply them but these are special messaging numbers in which you can't reply, also I didn't even bothered to check the link. Seeing these types of messages a lot of questions come into our mind like how they get our number and why me only? And the answer is because of your small mistake which you do many times while surfing the internet world which I think I did some days ago.

Forms, Petitions, And Surveys

Sometimes forms, petitions, and surveys either require your Gmail or WhatsApp number or even both data, and many times on seeing sentimental petitions or even good movement petitions we share our number in that form to vote for the cause. And it gets leaked because let me tell you the value of data is huge and one pays a good deal of amount to collect data like this.I know many petitions and forms are now only requiring Gmail for votes and submission still the adoption and reputation of those sites are still not enough for mass adoption.

And recently I signed a few petitions regarding saving trees and forests.

Applications

Some people like technology a lot and they have a bug inside them to try interesting and new apps every day, haha. The applications in PlayStore are seen safe in terms of virus protection but there's no guarantee of your data there as sometimes while opening accounts they require a phone number and without it, you can't make one and sometimes even they ask permission of your contacts and easy peasy they get a ton of numbers.

I haven't installed new apps or given permission to any apps like that for some months.

Final Thoughts

I think the reason I got this scam approach is because of signing the petition and sadly someone from that company sold my data because I am very aware and attentive to where I share my phone number. After all, once it's fully leaked, a bunch of variety of scammers will disturb and try to lure you into their trap every day through calls and messages.

And phone numbers are linked to bank account and even ID cards today so extreme level of careful attitude is needed to avoid such experiences.

Also unless I get paid above 1500$ per month I ain't working under anyone, I have chosen to go for self-business and then Entrepreneurship. Pretty big demand from TheGuy, haha.
