"Sounded like an automated message saying they were a recruiter and wanted to talk about a job on indeed. Asked to be added on WhatsApp. A real recruiter would ring or email direct, give their name and say what the job was. And definitely wouldn't ask to be added on WhatsApp! That's a common scam trick to get around security. Don't reply!!!"
