Second, seemingly legit, job posting that's contacted me after the fact to download Signal/Telegram. I'm in now way going to do it, not that dumb, just wondering if this is a new trend I'm not aware of?

I had this happen with a musician I follow. They did a series of live streaming pandemic shows & after one of those, the “musician” contacted me asking me to message them on Telegram.

Profile pic was a screenshot of the musicians’ facebook profile pic & the account details were sparse.

Not sure what the scam was, it wasn’t a very convincing attempt.
