A recruiter offered me a Laravel job up to €95k yesterday.
A quick check showed it was a scam. I found on LinkedIn that the real recruiter had passed away 6 years ago.

I wonder what they get out of posting scam jobs?
Personal data I guess.
I've read about this on X: they may ask you to clone a repo locally as a "tech assessment", and it installs malware. Never install a repo without being sure of what it is!
Yup these started in the crypto world a few years back as they were using interviews and "please install this video conf software" to steal people's keys/wallets. It seems to have spread to the wider dev world now as a lot of people have valuable secrets/API keys on disk. Always…
Thanks Jordi! I didn't know it started with fake video call apps.
