‘OpenAI’ Job Scam Targeted International Workers Through Telegram
Recently, an elaborate job scam targeted international workers through the messaging app Telegram, posing as the reputable artificial intelligence company OpenAI. Many unsuspecting job seekers were lured in with promises of high-paying remote positions within the company.
The scammers used fake websites, fraudulent job postings, and convincing messages to deceive their victims. They also requested personal information and payment for training materials or job application fees.
It is essential for job seekers to exercise caution when applying for positions online and to research companies thoroughly before providing any personal information or payment. Always be wary of job offers that seem too good to be true or require upfront payments.
OpenAI has released a statement warning individuals about the scam and advising them to verify the legitimacy of any job postings before proceeding. They have reiterated that they do not ask for payment or personal information during the recruitment process.
Stay vigilant and protect yourself from falling victim to job scams. Remember to always verify the authenticity of job opportunities and report any suspicious activity to the appropriate authorities.
