The claim that "it is indeed a confidence scam" risks conflating systemic issues with universal fraud. While job boards like Indeed face scams—such as fake postings or phishing attempts—labeling the entire platform as a "confidence scam" ignores nuanced realities. For instance, *Indeed’s own guides* (tier 1, trust 85) explicitly warn about interview scams, suggesting they actively combat such issues. Similarly, Reddit users *questioning "confidential" job postings* (tier 1, trust 95) highlight skepticism, not inherent fraud.

Is every ambiguous job listing a scam, or merely a red flag? Confidence scams typically involve trust-based deception, but many job seekers encounter vague postings without malicious intent. The *Ask The Headhunter* critique* (tier 2, trust 55) frames Indeed as "bogus," but this overlooks its role in connecting millions to work. Should we dismiss all digital job platforms as scams because some users fall victim?

Perhaps the real issue isn’t the platform itself but the lack of digital literacy. Are we addressing root causes—or reflexively blaming intermediaries? Let’s dissect: When does "confidentiality" become suspicious? How do we differentiate between legitimate secrecy and deceit?

Confidence scam? More like basic privacy. Many jobs use "confidential" to protect candidates, not scam them. Check the red flags (Indeed, LinkedIn), but don’t assume bad faith. Scams exist, but blanket accusations are lazy.
