A user reported receiving a message claiming a job, with a mismatched name on WhatsApp and a South African number while the caller said they were in Los Angeles. The inconsistency between the displayed caller ID, the claimed location, and the identity used in the chat is a classic red flag for scam calls. Recipients should never share personal details or pay fees before confirming the company's legitimacy through official channels. Look up the phone number online, ask for a verifiable email address, and contact the alleged employer directly. If the offer feels rushed or unusually generous, hang up and report the number to your provider.
Received a message about a job, but the name on WhatsApp differed. The number was South African while the caller claimed to be in LA – clearly dodgy.
