SCAM ALERT! TikTok, SMS, Application Fee Request

We have been alerted to a phishing scam targeting consumers via SMS, a URL and TikTok. The message falsely claims that there are job vacancies at Food Lover’s Market. We have taken all the steps we can to alert our consumers to the scam via our social media platforms, as well as alerting our internal teams.

NOTE, Food Lover’s Market will NEVER request a payment from you to apply for a position. Official Food Lover’s Market job vacancies can ONLY be found on our official platform, Job Jack: https://app.jobjack.co.za/careers?companyFirebaseUUID=0NmM23eUKqctBSZKqSDXyXy92vT2&type=LP (or https://foodloversmarket.co.za/careers/)

THIS IS HOW THE SCAM LOOKS:
The scam itself is shared via Tiktok, SMS and a FAKE web link / URL.
Once clicked, it redirects to a ‘Canva.com’ link, showcasing a fake webpage (using the Food Lover’s Market logo, as seen above).
‘canva.com’ and ‘flmcareers.co.za’ are fake links.

Furthermore, we have alerted our consumers to the scam via our social media platforms on several consecutive days, as well as alerted our internal teams.
