Constant spam messages about work from home.

Regularly receiving a message of this type via iMessage every day from different email addresses (iMessage allows sending free messages via email or registered phone number), Mr. Thanh Nam (31 years old, TP. .HCM) could not help but be annoyed: “Just listen to ting ting, see the message displayed from the email, oh my god, you know spam. It’s the same every day, it’s indescribable”.

Mr. Nam said that when he received these types of messages, he didn’t know what to do other than delete them and select “junk mail” when the notification appeared. According to him, iMessage understands this is a spam message, but every time it is sent, the crook uses a different email, so maybe Apple must also “give up”.

Ms. Hanh (27 years old, HCMC) is in the same situation. From the day she switched to using iPhone, she constantly received such messages via iMessage. Not only recruitment messages pretending to be Tiki, she also received messages pretending to be Amazon, TikTok, Shopee,…

“It’s not difficult to recognize these scam messages, but I’m worried that other less experienced users may be deceived because the recruitment information is too attractive. Fraudsters persist in sending messages continuously. That means they may have prey.”Hanh said.
