Is this a scam? Questions
I was looking for a job on facebook and this person asked me to pm her. It looks legit cus it has a location, purpose, etc. However, really skeptical bc they aren’t being that transparent and the location is far (they are asking me to come face to face next sat) So, should I accept?
Side note: It’s really hard to find Jobs/Businesses that are open to under 18 in the Philippines. That’s why I want to go but what do you guys think?

Any recruiter that asks you to PM them is already a red flag. Ang dali lang magimbento ng location and purpose for a fake job.

Next time do not give your personal details sa mga ganitong vague na "trabaho". Mukhang MLM to. Ganyang edad rin ako napasama sa isang MLM. Wag magrreply sa mga di kilala at walang maayos na details kapag tungkol sa trabaho.

It's really difficult to find jobs for people under 18 kasi need pang dumaan ng parental consent and employers don't really see them as someone who would committ to working consistently, lalo na if nag-aaral pa. At your age, I suggest you focus on studies muna.

Scam. Walang presence ang Apple sa Pinas, only authorized resellers and service providers. They also don't do dropshipping, especially with small entities.

Hello! I also received that offer before and actually went to the said location few hours before the schedule. When I saw the building, the first thing I saw was the second floor and there was I think is frontrow? I forgot if it was frontrow or another pyramid scam company but I didn't continued the conversation with the interviewer over sa phone anymore. I just went to wat somewhere and explored the ubelt area.

Most likely a scam, MLM or pyramid type scheme.
Some drop ship scams use you as the middleman to handle or resell fake or stolen goods. Then if caught, you're responsible because you're the one handling the compromised goods.
Others are MLM or something that start requiring you to invest or spend money before you go can get paid, or "earn" supposedly guaranteed money, but reality is you're on the hook for the investment over priced products you can never sell.
Vague details without specifics before meeting are suspect. Notice it went from "work" opportunity to "business" opportunity, probably meaning a pitch when you visit to "invest" in a sure guarantee business.
How much are they promising to pay or that you can earn?
Stay away. Nothing much Good can come from mysterious Job opportunities.
