Seen a scam? Report it. Protect someone.

A scam email impersonating a company called 'Candy TV' falsely informs the recipient they have been shortlisted for a Remote Customer Care Representative role. The email directs the recipient to purchase or access a book from a suspicious third-party website as supposed preparation for an assessment. This is a classic job scam pattern where fraudsters exploit genuine job seekers — the use of a free Gmail address to represent a company's PR or recruitment team is a strong red flag.

Fraudsters are impersonating Hilton Hotels & Resorts UK to trick job applicants into submitting sensitive identity documents including passport copies and degree certificates under the guise of a recruitment process. The 24-hour deadline creates artificial urgency to prevent the victim from verifying the legitimacy of the request. Legitimate hotel chains do not conduct interviews entirely by email or request passport scans before any verified interview stage.

A fraudulent recruitment email impersonating a company called Labmentix invites unsuspecting recipients to an internship orientation session they did not apply for. The scam progresses to an online meeting where candidates are pressured to pay an undisclosed fee to be considered, a classic advance-fee job scam tactic. Victims who question the legitimacy of the process are silenced and removed from the meeting.

A scammer posing as a Jumia representative contacted the victim via WhatsApp offering to pay between ₦50,000 and ₦150,000 per day for simple product screenshot tasks. This is a well-known 'task scam' or 'brushing scam' where initial small payments are made to build trust, before victims are asked to pay upfront fees or deposits to unlock larger earnings they never receive. The use of a legitimate Jumia product URL is a deliberate tactic to appear credible.

An unknown Facebook account using the display name 'Obi Favor' sent an unsolicited message claiming it was their birthday and offering a 20GB mobile data giveaway in exchange for the recipient's phone number. This is a well-documented social engineering tactic used to harvest phone numbers for follow-on fraud including smishing, vishing, and OTP interception. The target correctly declined and shared no personal information.
