Another Part-Time Job-Opportunity Scam on WhatsApp®, with Voice Message; Probable Repeat Offender

Anna, the WhatsApp Scammer - Image #2
Anna, the WhatsApp Scammer - Image #1
I'm pretty sure this is the same WhatsApp® scammer I wrote about before.

Her "name" is Anna, and her number on WhatsApp is +1 (213) 828-6634.

She mentions Onin Staffing, which is a real employment agency, with branches all over the United States (ONINSTAFFING.COM). 

But this is just part of her game.

The scam domains this time around, are:

     > 📛💣NOETICMARKETERC.COM💣📛 <
      >
💣📛 NOETICMARKETERA.COM
📛💣 <

Anna included a short voice message this time.  Here's a link to the audio file.  She sounds Asian:

                       >>>  ANNA, The SCAMMER <<<

The full text is below....Rich with lots of scammy details.  And, once again, it all seems quite legit. 

But I just had to highlight these two items, because they are HILARIOUS!

  • "OK.  May I know your name maybe we can be good friends in future..." 😀😂😀

  • "After all the work is done, you can immediately withdraw the commission profit you deserve." 😂😀😂

END of WhatsApp® Conversation with SCAMMER

The "training session" mentioned in the above 👆 WhatsApp conversation is not only a complete waste of time, but it's also how the scammers trick you into giving them sensitive information about yourself

These scammers like to use free phone numbers, of course.

So I've noticed that Google® has made some changes, new moves in their never-ending war against the spam + scam crowd.

  • Getting a free phone number with Google Voice used to be free.

    Now you have to have an "Existing US-based mobile phone number" to get one.

    I don't know of any free mobile-phone plans in the USA.  If you, the reader, know of any, please add a comment below with details.  And thank you!

  • And if you want to create a new GMail account, you'll have to confirm that you're not a robot.  How?  A text message sent to your not-free mobile phone number, of course.


Google (Gmail) accounts with the right username can (the part before the "@" symbol) do much to aid tricksters in their craft. 

Ending the 100% free nature of these accounts is the right thing to do.  Hopefully, all you honest folks out there have already created all the Google accounts you need...

www.FedPrimeRate.com - The Latest "Job Opportunity" Scam via My WhatsAPP and LinkedIN Accounts...www.FedPrimeRate.com - The Latest "Job Opportunity" Scam via My WhatsAPP and LinkedIN Accounts...www.FedPrimeRate.com - The Latest "Job Opportunity" Scam via My WhatsAPP and LinkedIN Accounts...

The scammer goes by the name "Alexia," and his/her phone number on WhatsAPP
-- (www.WhatsAPP.com) --
in this instance is +1 (650) 613-5608

This scam artist got my number at LinkedIN.com
 
My phone number is listed publicly there for all to see. It's not a real threat because it's a free voice over IP (VOIP) number, provided by a reliable VOIP provider

========
[9/12/2024 12:01 PM] SCAMMER: Hello! I am Alexia, I heard from Leslie that you are looking for a job, do you have time to learn more about this position?

[9/12/2024 12:38 PM] -ME- : OK

[9/12/2024 12:41 PM] SCAMMER: Ok, thanks for your response. Let me explain the details of a job to you now. If you have any questions, you can ask me.

[9/12/2024 12:41 PM] -ME- : OK

[9/12/2024 12:44 PM] SCAMMER: Our company specializes in hotel bookings and offers various assessment roles. We have developed a work platform equipped with an advanced algorithm that enhances the visibility of hotel bookings we manage. This system helps generate real traffic and improve the ranking of hotels that have recently experienced higher occupancy rates.

[9/12/2024 12:55 PM] -ME- : OK

[9/12/2024 12:58 PM] SCAMMER: okay, now let me tell you what you need to do.

[9/12/2024 12:59 PM] -ME- : OK

[9/12/2024 1:03 PM] SCAMMER: In this position, you’ll need to complete two sets of tasks daily, each set consist with 40 hotel orders. The system will assign these orders to you, and all you need to do is click "Submit" to upload them. The system will then handle the rest by analyzing and processing the orders based on each user's unique network IP and process them accordingly.

[9/12/2024 1:44 PM] -ME- : So the job is just clicking [SUBMIT]?

[9/12/2024 1:47 PM] SCAMMER: Yes but it plays a crucial role in improving the visibility and ranking of hotel bookings. Your work helps ensure that the system can accurately process and analyze the data, which in turn supports better outcomes for the hotels we work with.

[9/12/2024 2:01 PM] -ME- : OK

[9/12/2024 2:06 PM] SCAMMER: Great, Now if you don’t have any other questions about the content of the position, then let me tell you about your job income and start training, ok?
[9/12/2024 2:08 PM] -ME- : OK

[9/12/2024 2:14 PM] SCAMMER: Your total income includes a basic salary plus commission. You earn commission by completing two sets of evaluation tasks each day. For each hotel order, you can earn between 0.25% to 1% commission. For example, if you evaluate orders worth $100, you could earn up to $20 in commission from completing two sets of tasks.

[9/12/2024 2:17 PM] SCAMMER: And the basic salary is calculated based on the number of consecutive working days after completing two sets of work. The salary structure is as follows:
3 days: $160
5 days: $500
15 days: $1,200
30 days: $3,300
In total, if you work continuously for 30 days, you would earn $5,160.

[9/12/2024 2:18 PM] : OK

[9/12/2024 2:20 PM] SCAMMER: Btw, do you use a wallet similar to cashapp? For example, Metamask, Trustwallet, or Paypal. This kind of wallet is convenient for us to receive our commissions and salary after completing our task every day.

[9/12/2024 2:22 PM] : Receiving or remitting? I'm a bit confused...

[9/12/2024 2:23 PM] SCAMMER: I mentioned you there receive, then why you are confused?

[9/12/2024 2:25 PM] SCAMMER: Have you used any of these?

[9/12/2024 6:02 PM] SCAMMER: Good Evening! As the sun sets, let your worries fade. Every ending is a chance for a new beginning. Embrace the possibilities that lie ahead!

[9/12/2024 9:18 PM] -ME- : Metamask, Trustwallet, or Paypal? Yes.

[9/12/2024 9:27 PM] SCAMMER: Do you have all of these wallets?

[9/12/2024 9:27 PM] -ME- : PayPal

[9/12/2024 9:32 PM] SCAMMER: OK, Now if there are no problems, I'll provide you with an online training and let you operate a set of assessment tasks on the platform. I will guide you on how to complete it and get 20% commission for training.

[9/12/2024 9:41 PM] -ME- : OK

[9/13/2024 10:16 AM] +1 (650) 613-5608: Good Morning How's your day going?

[9/13/2024 10:17 AM] +1 (650) 613-5608: OK, now you need to open the platform URL and use my invitation code to register your own account. Please let me know after you complete the registration.

URL: BOOKINGONVIP.COM
Invitation Code: ZIMN27

[9/13/2024 11:10 AM] : Please see that attached screen shot. It is what I got when I tried to visit the URL you just sent me....🤷🏼‍♂

[9/13/2024 12:06 PM] SCAMMER: Sorry, I forgot to mention that our platform has been updated, so the platform URL has also changed. Can you use this: https://booking-vip.top
=========

👉 THIS MESSAGE WAS SENT THE NEXT DAY: Good Afternoon! 🎉 Weekends are for dreaming big and making plans. Use today to set new goals and get excited about the possibilities ahead. The best is yet to come! 🤮😡🤮😡🤮😡🤮😡🤮😡🤮😡🤮😡🤮😡
=========

As you can see, this scam artist throws in lots of detail, with numbers 💸🤔💰🤔💸.  Seems almost legit, doesn't it? 😡

The deceptive domains even have
"https://" encryption...Because Internet baddies need to watch out for scammers too!

  • NB: www.Booking.com is a 100% legitimate website.

This and other scam artists use fake / deceptive / scam domain names to trick people.

The scam domains in this case are -- and PLEASE DON'T VISIT THESE DOMAINS! THEY ARE DANGEROUS! -- ⧨👇⧩ :

> 📛💣📛💣 Booking-VIP.TOP📛💣📛💣 <
   >
💣📛💣 BookingOnVIP.COM💣📛💣 <

These deceptive domains even have "https://" encryption...Because Internet baddies need to watch out for scammers too! 🤮

==========

UPDATE: Tuesday, September 17, 2024, 2:53 PM EST - The scammer has not let up.  He/she just sent me this BS motivational message on WhatsAPP:

"Good afternoon! Remember, every small step you take today is a step closer to your bigger dreams. Keep moving forward!"

🤔: Perhaps this scammer just finished browsing a Tony Robbins book or something.  RIDICULOUS!  Like these words are going to make me more likely to fall for this scam. 100% CRAZY!

I'll probably be back with another update soon.  I have a feeling this person is not going to quit!  Stay tuned...

===========

UPDATE: Wednesday, September 18, 2024, 7:53 PM EST - The latest message on WhatsApp, from the same scammer:

-------------------

All good.

Due to maintenance, the URL for Booking.com has changed.
Therefore you can use this URL and use my invitation code to register your account.

URL : https://www.hotelwnnvip.com

Invitation Code : ZIMN27
-------------------

And this is how these scammers keep their scams going ad infinitum.  A fresh, new domain name, with the same scam setup.

    > 📛💣📛 HOTELWNNVIP.COM 💣📛💣 <

MAMA MIA!


The scammer's persistence continues!

I guess all the major browser makers out there are onto this scumbag. They are blocking his/her/their every move, and fast...

===============

WHOIS info:

Domain Name: HOTELWNNVIP.COM
Registry Domain ID: 2916711082_DOMAIN_COM-VRSN
Registrar WHOIS Server: whois.gname.com
Registrar URL: http://www.gname.com
Updated Date: 2024-09-13T21:53:23Z
Creation Date: 2024-09-13T21:53:23Z
Registry Expiry Date: 2025-09-13T21:53:23Z

==============

One of the reasons I registered my most important domain names for the maximum time frame -- 10 years -- and continue to add more time whenever I am able, is to send a strong signal to the search engines and browser makers: My domain names and I are 100% legit!

A domain name that is registered for 10 years shouldn't be treated the same as one that is registered at the bare minimum.  Makes sense...

Stay tuned!
