I just received an SMS message purporting to be from TikTok HR department.
Here’s a screenshot:
The message reads:
Hi, I’m from Tiktok HR department, we have viewed your CV and your CV is a perfect fit for us, we are pleased to invite you to become a part time partner, pay £200-£500 per day, please contact me for job details: [link redacted]
I could tell straight off that it was bullshit because:
- If they’d actually read my CV then they’d have known I most certainly am not a perfect fit for them or the role they claim they’re offering
- They couldn’t have got my phone number from my CV because it’s not on there
- I can’t stand TikTok and I’d never apply to them for a job
- Everything else about that message
It appears The Mirror has already published an article about this scam. You can read it here if you’re interested: https://www.mirror.co.uk/tech/tiktok-issues-urgent-warning-anyone-33739070
Please don’t fall for this shit. If you get a message offering you something you never applied for, it’s more than likely a scam. Be vigilant!
