If you are a content creator or influencer with a massive following and receive a link about joining such a role, do not click it right away. Instead, find out who sent the message. Most trusted companies reach out to influencers through their official accounts, so be cautious if you receive this offer from a random user. In case you've already applied to a fake job offer using your personal information, you can't go back and discard it. However, you can avoid further damage by freezing your bank accounts and credit cards, informing the authorities about the leak, and staying vigilant against phishing emails and phone calls.
