A U.S. job seeker said an email about a possible job directed them to a site to download JobApp, supposedly for interviews, tasks and a company handbook. A Reddit commenter said the site was created 10 days earlier; other users called the setup a scam.
The applicant said they could not identify the position, though it might have been one they had applied for. The email first asked whether they were available for full- or part-time work.
Commenters warned that installing software from an unfamiliar site could expose a device to malware; one also said the download could lead to requests for money or involvement in illegal activity. The article recommends tracking job applications, checking recruiter email domains against employers’ domains, and confirming hiring apps appear in official app stores.
