"Refundable on day one": the job scam that fooled

I'd been jobless for months. Then a WhatsApp message: "Hiring now! KES 45,000/month. Only 3 slots left." The logo looked real. They sent screenshots of "happy staff." Then: "Pay KES 3,500 for your uniform and training. Refundable on day one." I paid. Then they wanted KES 2,000 more for "ID processing." Then I was blocked. Red flags I missed: Fees before starting work Fake urgency ("only 3 slots left") "Proof" that was just screenshots Real employers never charge you to work for them. Send this to someone job hunting.
