A scam phone calls and emails discussion.

It makes me wonder what kind of organisation lies behind different scammers following the same general line but all slightly differently - and all of them trying it on on our landline.

Chinese, Indian, and Georgian organised crime groups, mainly.

The people you speak to, should you speak to a real person, are often not working entirely voluntarily, either.

I've been getting a few calls recently from "LinkedIn recruitment" about a job offer, and that I should "add (their) number on WhatsApp". Each time is a different variation, but that's the general summary.
Obviously I'm not going to add their number on WhatsApp...

If nothing else, if you've applied for a job through LinkedIn, surely any communication would be through their website messaging feature? Or, depending on how far along you get, direct contact from the potential employer?

Yes l've had a few of these now. Just blocked/ ignored them but disconcerting

The number of them I've been receiving has increased somewhat over the last week or so, to about daily. Interesting how the frequency is being changed
