In his voice message reply, he trolled Abby by telling her he was interested in the job. Inquiring about the salary, he asked if the currency would be in Singapore dollars or “peanuts”.

He also enquired about the job scope and asked if he would be working from home.

Probably amused by the OP’s actions, one TikTok user quoted a line where he refers to the job as a joke.

According to the TikTok video’s caption, Abby deleted her account after their conversation without giving him a job.

When he asked her why she deleted her account, she replied that she had faced issues with it.

This time, Abby asked him to send text messages instead. However, he continued sending voice messages telling her that he was going to buy lunch and that he was in school.

He then continued trolling the recruiter by saying he could only send voice messages because,

I actually prefer voice la, because I really love to talk you know? Typing is so boring. When you talk, WOW, it’s just better, you know what I mean right?

When a commenter asked if Abby continued replying him, he answered that she blue ticked him, which meant that she read his messages without replying.

All in good fun

Jokes aside, we hope that people will remain vigilant about possible online scams if they come across suspicious text messages.
