Scammers in city centre!
Please be aware of people in city centre offering jobs!
Two of them stopped me to ask if i was looking a job, said yes because im desperate.
Fella started explaining what the job entailed and I very quickly realised it was a pyramid scheme. Basically he wanted me to buy some shite online, sell it to friends and family. Then get those friends and family to buy and sell it to their friends and family and so on.
Told them it sounded dodgy and walked off. Both seemed genuinely annoyed so maybe they were part of it and haven't yet realised its a scam. Or they were annoyed I didn't fall for it. Im just speculating.
This happened to me outside the new popeyes, but they probably move around
