Beware of Job scams!

Job Scam
I came across an Eatigo job opportunity through WhatsApp and was asked to "like" a restaurant through the web/app. After liking the post, I received a small commission of SGD $15. Subsequently, they asked me to complete a special task to increase my commission from $15 to $20, but I had to transfer money to the "merchant." Ultimately, I was scammed out of close to $2.8k.

I've heard that this is a relatively new job scam out there, so please be careful.

Below are examples of the text:

Prepaid tasks
Group projects (2-3 orders)
A friendly reminder from merchants: As per the requirements of the Eatigo app, we are recruiting members from different countries to assist major hotel companies with reservations. Limited spots available!
The merchant has paid the deposit and will refund it immediately after ten minutes. Prepayment required! Safe and reliable!
Every order must be paid in advance. Please contact your manager who will guide you through your order.
Please contact your auditor for further details.
