Second, seemingly legit, job posting that's contacted me after the fact to download Signal/Telegram. I'm in now way going to do it, not that dumb, just wondering if this is a new trend I'm not aware of?
Theoretically downloading those apps wouldn't get the scammer anything they are just using those to get scott free from consequences after scam as those apps are anonymous enough if i have to guess the scam comes after contacting the person .
