Yesterday, I received a call from a person named Lena, who claimed to be from Exponential Growth Pte Ltd, stating that she had found my resume on the jobsdb website. Since I had not used jobsdb before, I questioned how she obtained my details. Lena explained that job sites are interoperable, which supposedly allowed her access to my information. She then offered me a work-from-home opportunity, promising to provide six days of work per week. The job entailed completing partner orders and assisting in improving hotel occupancy rates. According to Lena, the working hours were from 10 AM to 6 PM, and each completed order would earn me a 2% commission.

I decided to give it a try and completed an hour of work yesterday and today, receiving a small payment. However, I became suspicious of the situation and consulted with my mother. To our surprise, during our research, we discovered a similar scam tactic on hardwarezone, where an individual was scammed by the same company. The victim was even asked to deposit money to supposedly earn more.

In order to raise awareness and prevent others from falling victim to this scam, I would like to share my experience. Fortunately, I did not fall for the scam, and the scammers only had access to my name and phone number in order to send me payment via PayNow.
