Strange Job Listing/Website

[Teatrye]

Hello!  I'm not sure if this is an actual problem or not, but I wanted to check, just to make sure.

 

I found a job listing on craigslist, a couple days ago, offering to pay for online writers.  I was a little skeptical, but I created a member's account on their website, using my email address and a random password.  After reading through the terms and FAQ's, I thought it sounded sketchy, but I followed a link, to see what they would assign me with, first.  The link I clicked on did not match the web address I ended up in, and I was directed to leave a comment.

 

I left the comment on the article, and sent in the proof that I had commented, but after discussing it with a friend, I decided to delete the pending proof details soon after submitting them, and emailed the website, telling them I was no longer interested in the job, and to delete the account I had made on their website.

 

I provided them with no other information but my email address.  However, I was a little concerned by the mismatched link they had me follow, for my test assignment.

 

Is this something to be concerned about?  I'm not sure, myself.  I took some photos of suspicious details and links with my phone, just in case, so I could detail the exact addresses, even.

No this is typically probably an SEO spamming tactic from the sounds of it. Simply ignore it and do not reply to any further emails. If you get any just delete them. They don't know anything about you or your system.

 

Thanks

I'd hoped that was the case, but, I can never be too sure.

 

Thank you very much
