Atlanta Man Loses $1,700 to Text-Based Job Scam, Issues Warning to Others

#wqeb973newz | Atlanta,GA-📱 An Atlanta-area man is warning others after losing money in a text-based job scam that promised easy remote work. The scheme, known as a “task scam,” often begins with unsolicited messages offering flexible online jobs and small upfront payments to build trust.

⚠️ Experts say scammers later pressure victims to invest their own money to keep earning. Authorities urge consumers to ignore unexpected job texts and remember that legitimate employers will never ask workers to pay to get paid.
