Hey guys! I'm a veteran freelancer but thought that because I'm no longer in my home country, that these groups wouldn't be around, so I came here for your wise counsel. I currently work at a restaurant but have been diagnosed recently with Rheumatoid Arthritis, this the search for more administrative/office jobs. A woman posted this claiming to be part of a "job community" and it's all whatsapp based. No contract, no payment verification (claims to pay up to 2500 a day based on work done). Jobs are going to be posted in the whatsapp group and you'll just…idk, do it? I thought it was just a job posting and that I'd be referred to an actual company, but it's starting to seem like a scam? Or svart jobb in the least.

Would like to hear your thoughts before I back out fully, I don't want to be involved in any svart jobb and should I report this to authorities? 😭

  1. Tbh, sounds fishy as fuck. Norwegian companies are transparent with jobs and payments, and freelancing is different around here.

    Greetings from one *from-freelancing-to-norwegian-restaurants* to another.

  4. I have never seen anyone using Whatsapp in Norway lol

  5. I’ve never seen a WhatsApp based job that wasn’t a scam

  6. It’s definitely “up to 2500”, as in no more than that.

  9. Very scammy. Had some similar ”opportunities” on telegram the other day. When someone unknown contacts you with a job.. hmm

  11. Looks like a task scam, go to r/scams and look it up

  13. This shouldn’t even be a question. Of course it’s a scam.
