Just guessing that this is to get the conversation off of Indeed, for whatever that is worth.
BTW: I use Signal to stay in touch with my far-away family. It's pretty nice. Rumor has it that it was originally built by the CIA (the US spy organization).
That’s right. A scamming tactic is to move conversations from platforms that are monitored to platforms that are encrypted, where the scam messages won’t detected by automated scanning.
Yes, there are legit uses for encrypted chats but this move is one signal that a scam may be in progress.
