'Don't answer them': Recruiters continuously call an employee on the weekend, offering part time job that pays $250 per hour, internet informs employee it's a fraud

At 5:30 am, one person was enjoying some sleep on their weekend, when they heard a 'ding' from their phone. Who on earth would text at this hour? Well, lots of people, if it were an emergency. But it wasn't… it was a recruiter, and they were offering the person a job. This job sounded enticing indeed, as it was part-time, and it was $250 per hour. Or… was it?

I can smell a scam from a mile away, and anyone who texts me that isn't on my contact list raises my immediate suspicion. Who are you, how did you get my number, and why are you asking me to apply for a job that sounds too good to be true? Scroll down to read the full story and what people had to say about it, and then when you're done, here is a story about an office manager who was fed up with the employees who left their spoiled food in the fridge.
