The Venmo Hiring text scam below, which claims Venmo is hiring 5 people to work from home and recipients can make $500 per day, is a scam. The link in the Venmo scam text message redirects visitors to spam, phishing, and malicious websites. The websites trick visitors into buying unwanted services, steal their personal and financial information, and infect their computers or mobile devices with malicious apps or malware.

I just got this same text as well. From 503-801-3362. I wonder how they're getting our names correct? Do all of you have a Venmo account?
I just received one from a similar number. They also got my name correctly, but I also have a venmo account. Kinda find it creepy that they were able to get my name correct
I was wondering how they got our names too. That's the freaky part. I do have a Venmo, and just used it yesterday.
