I feel very sad and discouraged. I keep getting solicited for work (ghostwriting and proofreading/editing) that doesn't exist. I don't know if that means I'm good at what I do or think I'm desperate enough to fall for it.
It feels like I'm not taken seriously and won't find work

Job Scams
Scammers advertise jobs the same way honest employers do — online (in ads, on job sites, and social media), in newspapers, and sometimes on TV and radio. They promise you a job, but what they want is ...

I was searching bluesky to see who is posting about this problem on Linkedin, which is totally letting suss “companies” post and the reporting categories are completely deficient. “CORE” is AI Grant Pros and its website uses a regular gmail address for email contact. #JobScams #LinkedIn
Screen grab of the only categories on reporting a job posting being used to data farm job applications at best. Screen grab of the homepage for CORE aka AI Grant Pros that is the link directly from LinkedIn. Shows a phone number, a gmail address, and a statement about 12 years of “expertise” in grants, which is the wrong lingo and 12 yrs is laughably low for a company pretending to be experts so it’s probably an international fraud scheme. Gotta love these 1-10 person companies that pretend to be national consulting firms across the public sector. Also….I bet that 12 yrs experience is adding up among all their employees….probably 1-3. Screenshot of the top of the landing page for CORE / AI Grant Pros. Super glossy pic of a skyscraper with basically no business practice information. Reminds me of those catfish Netflix did documentaries on where these dudes pretend to run these rich established family companies, shared the glossy webpages, and convinced women to front them money while their cash was “stuck” Core Consulting AKA “AI Grant Pros” lists basic info like webpage, 1-10 employees (none linked to being on LinkedIn, is also sign of any number of scams) screenshot of a company whose page I went to because LinkedIn emailed me a job for them. I went to the job deets and saw the kind of posting that EY, Booz or Deloitte would make, but too generic, so I checked out the company page in LinkedIn, no one the posting deets would be for a company of only 1-10 employees so I went to the LinkedIn linked website.

Another "recruiter." Another familiar pattern.

I asked one simple question: "Are you selling a service?"

The answer was no

By the end? I was being asked to send my resume.
