"Amazon Need Data Entry Workers From Home" Facebook Amazon data entry job scam event (and similar)

Lately, I’ve noticed a lot of job scam events in various Facebook groups I’m in (public and private). They mostly revolve around companies such as Walmart or Amazon, and claim that these companies have work-from-home positions. The accounts posting this are probably hacked or throwaways and most often have Indian names.

One of the most heavily spammed groups with this stuff that I’ve seen is the private group Toilets With Threatening Auras; currently, as I write this there are 12 of these listings in the “events” section of the group:

Event links are as follows (note that they might not show up as they’re in a private group):

Description of all events:
★No experience needed
★Free training
★Work in online with your mobile phone\Pc
★Payment everyday
★$30-$50 per hour

P.S. Looks like searching “Amazon” or “Walmart” or “Work from Home” in Facebook and clicking “Events” opens Pandora’s box.

Looks like this was documented before in this thread here: Fake Amazon Job Website

I think that this is a monumental volume of spam that’s pretty much hopeless to stop, but since there’s little documentation about this scam that I’ll post anyways.

I get posts like that in my small town facebook group. This is one saying that the deadline to sign up for food stamps is next month.
