Have you recently come across the website TagAndChill[.]com and wondered whether it’s too good to be true? Do Netflix tagger jobs even exist? And if they do, how do people get them? Keep on reading for the answers to all these questions and more!
The Netflix tagger job website TagAndChill[.]com is 100% a scam. Unfortunately, it is not possible to land a job as a Netflix tagger using TagAndChill[.]com because the entire website is dedicated to one thing and one thing only: stealing people’s data.
The design of the scam website mimics that of the official Netflix website — this is done so people are more likely to believe that it is legitimate (which it is not). Additionally, by saying that “No resume or prior experience is needed” and “Limited spots available,” TagAndChill[.]com is trying to encourage everyone to apply and to do so quickly — common scammer tactics.
If you were to click “Apply Now” on the TagAndChill Netflix scam website, you likely would be requested to submit lots of personal data such as your name, address, email address, and Social Security number — all data that is normal to give to employers, but very dangerous when in the hands of scammers. And by submitting your data on the site, the scammers would have access to it and could use it to commit any number of crimes/cybercrimes in your name or use the information to hack into your bank account/online accounts.
The scam website FastSideHustles[.]com is another website that advertises Netflix tagger jobs, among other jobs like Amazon product tester and Roblox game tester. None of the job advertisements on FastSideHustles[.]com are real, and just like TagAndChill[.]com, they are all scams designed to steal people’s personal data.
Real Netflix tagger jobs do exist, but perhaps due to how coveted they are, they’re not regularly advertised. However, when there are Netflix tagger job vacancies, the positions can be found in the jobs section of the Netflix website (here). Bear in mind though, they are not the “no resume/experience required” positions that the scammers advertise!
