How a Fake Job Opportunity Took Me on an Unexpected Journey / Cómo una falsa oportunidad de trabajo me llevó a un viaje inesperado
| English | Spanish |
| My journey to a totally new environment | Mi viaje a un entorno totalmente nuevo |
| Today I took it upon myself to travel to a totally new environment, a place I have never been before. It is a place with new opportunities. | Hoy me propuse viajar a un entorno totalmente nuevo, un lugar en el que nunca había estado antes. Es un lugar con nuevas oportunidades. |
| What actually prompted this movement? Well, after I received a notification from someone who posed as my friend with the same name. | ¿Qué fue lo que realmente motivó este viaje? Bueno, después de recibir un mensaje de alguien que se hizo pasar por mi amigo con el mismo nombre. |
| The message reads: “Hello,” the person mentioned my name and said he is my friend and mentioned his name, and told me there is an opportunity on the island. | El mensaje decía: “Hola”, la persona mencionó mi nombre y dijo que era mi amigo, mencionó su nombre y me dijo que había una oportunidad en la isla. |
| This opportunity was about a job in an oil and gas company (NLNG). | Esta oportunidad era sobre un trabajo en una compañía de petróleo y gas (NLNG). |
| I saw the number saved on my phone, so I called because the name sounded familiar but the number was strange. | Vi el número guardado en mi teléfono, así que llamé porque el nombre me sonaba familiar, pero el número era extraño. |
| A young man answered and said the opportunity was real but I should apply remotely instead of going there. | Un joven respondió y dijo que la oportunidad era real, pero que debía aplicar de forma remota en lugar de ir allí. |
| Later I was told I had to pay money to get the form, and that made me suspicious. | Más tarde me dijeron que debía pagar dinero para obtener el formulario, y eso me hizo sospechar. |
| Instead of paying, I decided to verify things myself and went to the island. | En lugar de pagar, decidí verificar todo por mí mismo y fui a la isla. |
| The place was an oil and gas hub with strong infrastructure and development. | El lugar era un centro de petróleo y gas con buena infraestructura y desarrollo. |
| I did not inform the person because I suspected it was not legitimate. | No informé a la persona porque sospechaba que no era legítimo. |
| I met a military officer at the security checkpoint and explained everything to him. | Me encontré con un oficial militar en el puesto de seguridad y le expliqué todo. |
| He told me many people had reported similar scam cases, some losing large sums of money. | Me dijo que muchas personas habían denunciado estafas similares, algunas perdiendo grandes sumas de dinero. |
| He even mentioned helping someone recover money lost in a similar case. | Incluso mencionó haber ayudado a alguien a recuperar dinero perdido en un caso similar. |
| He called the people involved and asked them to come for verification. | Llamó a las personas involucradas y les pidió que vinieran para verificación. |
| However, they kept changing locations and avoiding the meeting. | Sin embargo, seguían cambiando de ubicación y evitando la reunión. |
| After several hours, it became clear that it was a scam attempt. | Después de varias horas, quedó claro que era un intento de estafa. |
| I later learned from friends that many people have fallen victim to similar schemes. | Más tarde supe por amigos que muchas personas han sido víctimas de esquemas similares. |
| I am glad I did not fall for it and avoided becoming another victim. | Me alegra no haber caído en la trampa y haber evitado ser otra víctima. |

Thank you.
Alright thank you so much I appreciate. I'll make out time and read it but I'm curious did you find something wrong with my post?
Hi. There's nothing wrong with your post. You haven't had much of engagement with the community since you joined and no one has given you posting guides, so I decided to send you the guides.
Alright. That's very kind of you. Thank you so much.
I wonder why it's hard to get votes on hive.blog these days, is it because of the state of hive coin or there are no curators?
Hi.
The lack of votes on your posts is likely because you have had very little engagement with the community since you joined 6 months ago.
It seems that you have hardly read others' posts and commented on them with valuable (human-written) commentary.
Alright I'll make out time to be doing these
