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!
TagAndChill Netflix Scam… or Not?
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.
FastSideHustles[.]com — Another Scam Job Website
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.
Netflix Tagger Job Real… or Not?
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!

As the influence of the internet rises, so does the prevalence of online scams. There are fraudsters making all kinds of claims to trap victims online - from fake investment opportunities to online stores - and the internet allows them to operate from any part of the world with anonymity. The ability to spot online scams is an important skill to have as the virtual world is increasingly becoming a part of every facet of our lives. The below tips will help you identify the signs which can indicate that a website could be a scam. Common Sense: Too Good To Be True When looking for goods online, a great deal can be very enticing. A Gucci bag or a new iPhone for half the price? Who wouldn’t want to grab such a deal? Scammers know this too and try to take advantage of the fact. If an online deal looks too good to be true, think twice and double-check things. The easiest way to do this is to simply check out the same product at competing websites (that you trust). If the difference in prices is huge, it might be better to double-check the rest of the website. Check Out the Social Media Links Social media is a core part of ecommerce businesses these days and consumers often expect online shops to have a social media presence. Scammers know this and often insert logos of social media sites on their websites. Scratching beneath the surface often reveals this fu
So the worst has come to pass - you realise you parted with your money too fast, and the site you used was a scam - what now? Well first of all, don’t despair!! If you think you have been scammed, the first port of call when having an issue is to simply ask for a refund. This is the first and easiest step to determine whether you are dealing with a genuine company or scammers. Sadly, getting your money back from a scammer is not as simple as just asking. If you are indeed dealing with scammers, the procedure (and chance) of getting your money back varies depending on the payment method you used. PayPal Debit card/Credit card Bank transfer Wire transfer Google Pay Bitcoin PayPal If you used PayPal, you have a strong chance of getting your money back if you were scammed. On their website, you can file a dispute within 180 calendar days of your purchase. Conditions to file a dispute: The simplest situation is that you ordered from an online store and it has not arrived. In this case this is what PayPal states: "If your order never shows up and the seller can't provide proof of shipment or delivery, you'll get a full refund. It's that simple." The scammer has sent you a completely different item. For example, you ordered a PlayStation 4, but instead received only a Playstation controller. The condition of the item was misrepresented on the product page. This could be the
