SMS Scam in Serbia: How Fake Employers Are Stealing Your Money and Hope!
Have you ever received a message on Viber offering you a dream job? If yes, think twice before you believe it! A new SMS scam is spreading in Serbia that’s so obvious it’s almost funny — if it weren’t so tragic.
An Offer That Smells Like a Scam
The message comes from an unknown number, often from abroad. It offers a job with no prior experience needed, no warehousing, and no recruiting others. Sounds like a fairy tale, right? They also say you must be over 24 years old and that payment will be in dollars — about $30 a day. But here’s the catch: the text is so poorly translated it looks like it was written by Google Translate on autopilot.
Why Is This a Problem?
This scam isn’t just annoying — it’s dangerous! People looking for jobs, especially young and vulnerable ones, can easily be tricked. Imagine believing such a message and ending up losing money or, worse, being drawn into shady activities.
How to Spot the Scam?
- Message comes from an unknown or foreign number.
- Text is poorly written, full of grammar mistakes and nonsense.
- Offers a job with no experience and no clear conditions.
- Payment in dollars, unusual for a local job.
- No concrete info about the employer or company.
What to Do If You Get Such a Message?
Best to delete it immediately and don’t reply. If you already contacted them, don’t send money or personal info. Always verify info on official sites or trusted sources.
Why Are These Scams Spreading?
Because people in Serbia and the region often look for extra income. Scammers exploit this and target the most vulnerable. The internet and apps like Viber are perfect tools for mass sending such messages.
Bottom Line: Don’t Be Easy Prey!
In a world where jobs are rare, these scams are like poisonous bait. Be smart, check info, and don’t let fake offers drag you into worse trouble.
Now honestly — who among you has already received such a message? Or maybe you know someone who almost fell for it? Share your stories so we can all laugh or warn each other. Because it’s better to laugh than cry over scams, right?
