🚨Scammers Are Using a Google Tool to Target Job Seekers🚨
Scammers have found a new way to target job hunters, and it starts with a legitimate Google feature.
Criminals are abusing Google Forms to send fake job applications, onboarding packets, and interview requests that look polished and trustworthy.
Because the forms come from Google’s domain, many victims assume they’re safe.
The scam often begins with a message claiming you’ve been shortlisted for a remote role.
The form then asks for sensitive details like your address, Social Security number, or banking info for “direct deposit setup.”
Some victims are even asked to pay for equipment upfront.
How to protect yourself:
- Real employers do not request financial info or payments before hiring.
- Verify the company’s career page and contact HR directly.
- Treat any unsolicited Google Form asking for personal data as a red flag.
Cool Tip:
If a job offer feels rushed or too good to be true, slow down and confirm it through official channels before sharing anything.

- GameStop’s $56 Billion eBay Bid Raises Eyebrows
GameStop’s surprise $56 billion offer to buy eBay has triggered a wave of skepticism across markets and social media.
The retailer, worth about $12 billion, proposed $125 per share for eBay, half cash, half stock, claiming it could save $2 billion annually by merging operations.
Investors aren’t convinced. eBay’s stock rose only 7.5 percent, while GameStop fell 6 percent, reflecting doubts about financing and fit.
eBay is reviewing the offer.
Whether this bold move signals a new era for GameStop or another meme‑stock mirage remains to be seen.
