Seriously? This Again.

Right, so listen up, you lot. Apparently, some absolute morons are using LinkedIn to lure people with fake job offers at Tesla and Red Bull. Not just any jobs, oh no. They’re targeting “influencers” – because apparently those folks are too busy taking selfies to notice blatant scams. They’re dangling positions like “Brand Ambassador” or some other bullshit title, then moving the conversation to Telegram for… reasons. Of course.

The goal? Get credentials, install malware, generally cause chaos. It’s a classic spear-phishing campaign, but tailored for people who think having 10k followers makes them experts in everything. They’re using legitimate-looking profiles to build trust (shocking, I know), and then BAM! You’ve given away the keys to your digital kingdom.

The article points out that this isn’t new – it’s been happening for a while now with other companies too. But because Tesla and Red Bull are shiny brands, everyone’s suddenly losing their minds. Like we haven’t seen this before. Honestly, if someone contacts you on LinkedIn offering a dream job after five minutes of looking at your profile… just assume it’s a scam. It’s not rocket science.

And the worst part? They’re using shortened URLs and dodgy Telegram links. Seriously, people! Don’t click random shit!

The takeaway? Be skeptical. Verify everything. And for the love of all that is holy, stop trusting strangers on the internet just because they have a fancy logo in their email signature.

I once had a user try to convince me that a Nigerian prince *really* needed help transferring millions of dollars. Millions! I told him to go pound sand and then blocked his IP address. Some people are just… beyond hope.
