A publication widely relayed on Instagram, particularly in the form of a story, claims to offer a paid work from home opportunity, with earnings of up to 300 Tunisian dinars per day. The message states that it would be possible to “ earn money via whatsapp », with payment made the same day by bank transfer. All you need is a cell phone and an Internet connection. No diploma or experience would be required, the requested age being between 25 and 50 years old.
To reinforce its credibility, the image associated with the publication displays the logos of BIAT and the Central Bank of Tunisia, and concludes with a button encouraging “ Apply now » via an external link.
After verification, this publication is a scam.
Neither BIAT nor the Central Bank of Tunisia has announced, supported or sponsored such a job offer. No official communication, whether on their websites or on their verified pages on social networks, mentions recruitment via WhatsApp or such a high remuneration system for an unskilled activity. The use of the logos of these two financial institutions is fraudulent and only aims to give the appearance of seriousness to a misleading offer.
This type of publication corresponds to a well-known pattern of online scam: promise of quick profits, deliberately vague conditions, absence of information on the real employer and redirection to an external link. In many similar cases, victims are then asked to provide personal data, bank details or to pay a so-called “registration fee”, without ever receiving any remuneration.
Conclusion : This alleged job offer posted on Instagram is false and misleading. Legitimate job offers from Tunisian banks are published exclusively through their official channels and do not pass through anonymous Instagram stories or WhatsApp.
