Spent 45 minutes trying to fix a fake job application form that was just a phishing link in disguise

I kept wondering why the form wouldn't submit, turns out the whole thing was a scam to grab my personal info, not a real remote data entry gig. Has anyone else spent way too long filling out a bogus application before realizing it?

Ngl that's rough but I gotta say something that's been bugging me. Honestly, remote data entry gigs aren't really a thing anymore if they're legit. Most real work-from-home data jobs are just basic admin stuff or customer service, not "enter this info and get paid". Tbh if a job application doesn't have a proper company website or a real person on the other end, it's almost always a scam. I've seen folks waste way more than 45 minutes on these things, some even send their ID scans before catching on. Just a heads up for next time.

Good grief, people actually send scans of their ID to these things? That's terrifying.
