The Illusion of Legitimacy: What a Fake Job Offer Taught Me About Modern Scams

Last week, I fell into a trap that was far more sophisticated than any junk email I’d ever seen. It started with a phone call, a text message, and an email—all referencing actual details from my resume. When someone reaches out knowing your work history, your guard drops.
