Amazon job scam texts are spreading again with a new twist
Scammers text job seekers pretending to be Amazon recruiters and offer high-paying remote work without needing to apply first.
How it works
You get a text message from someone claiming to be Amazon's hiring team. They offer you a well-paying remote job with little effort required and no application process. They ask you to text back to a different phone number to move forward.
Red flags to watch for
- Text arrives unsolicited, no explanation of how they found you
- Job offer is vague but promises high pay for minimal work
- They direct you to text a separate phone number, not a company website
- Scammers swap names and numbers but reuse the same pitch
What to do
Do not text the number or click any links. Go directly to Amazon's careers website and verify job postings there. If you are job hunting, apply only through official company websites or verified recruiters you have researched independently.
