High Risk — 0/100
Our scan found multiple warning signs consistent with job scam patterns.
This job posting claims to be from Microsoft for a Remote Data Entry Specialist role offering $8,000 per week. The posting requests an upfront $500 Bitcoin equipment deposit, asks applicants to send passport and bank details to a Gmail address, and directs contact exclusively through Telegram.
