Authorities and companies are warning the public about a widespread cryptocurrency scam involving fake job offers purportedly from the online retailer Temu. The scam typically begins with unsolicited text messages from individuals claiming to be recruiters, sometimes using names like "Monica" or "Juliana." Victims are baited through false texts, dating apps, or offers of investment and networking opportunities. Temu has issued warnings to dissuade people from responding to these fraudulent job offers. Law enforcement agencies, including the Arvada Police Department, have also alerted residents not to fall for these scams. Additionally, there is an increase in fake cryptocurrency airdrops used by scammers to steal wallet access or trick users into signing malicious transactions. Experts advise users to verify sources carefully, avoid connecting wallets to unknown sites, and refrain from signing unfamiliar transactions.
