Again, got done request via Instagram to upvote a hotel for 5,- dollars with immediate pay. The hotel is already given. You only have to post positive 5 star review and you get your 5 bucks.
OK, now, at one point, I want to know if it's really true. It's just interesting. But the thing is, you'll be returning a screenshot whit your full name and gave them the fact that you're naive to cooperate. So, is maybe that's the scam? Figuring out who is that naive person in real life to do further scammed directed at the person? Because if they don't pay (or just anyway) you can delete your recommendation.
I won't do it because I don't like their payment method. I asked them to do it by bank what is a lie - they will still get your name. Else I would've done it with a duplicate Google account to stay anonymous.
Sigh, it keeps me busy to figure out actual scams. I always engage to find out but I think I understand this one.
I also could just make a screenshot of someone else his recent recommendation. I tell the person I will do it sometime later, wait for someone else to post and claim it was me. In that case I need a crypto wallet for the payout. Hmm. Not very ethical.7
