So, I'm still applying and have included FB in my search. Not really a fan of the platform but friends and former colleagues have said that they were able to find work in FB.
So I took their advice and joined relevant groups. Much to my dismay, every group has its share of scammers. I was triggered and started reporting every scam post that I see.
How do I know these posts are scams? I just know. Seriously, if it is too good to be true, it is possibly a scam. Now, I can just move along and scroll past these posts but it only takes a good person to do nothing for evil to succeed.
How do you deal with posts by scammers?

@allen0187 It's the only way to go with FB. They never answer back, they never stop the scammers.

I belong to a lot of crochet groups on fb and was asked to be a moderator of one but I refused as I don't have the time to be on there. I have seen tons of scams offering jobs with no qualifications and all you need to do was to send a message to that person. Scam.
I have reported several of that to the admin groups but I'm not sure they did something about it.

I reported a couple of posts. Not sure if it makes a difference or not.

@Butterfingers sorry to hear that. If that is the case, the group admins aren't really helpful.

So do you deal with scammers and report them?

I might start to ignore these as it eats up time.

Same.
I guess, I'll stop reporting now and just move on.

I won't be on Facebook if I wasn't looking for a second job.

It is really right now to differentiate what is real from not. A lot of people we know are sharing things they haven't research if real legit or not.

True that is why we should be careful with what we share online.
