While it sucks (for them), someone in that field should really not fall for that and broadcasting it so future employers know you're a liability also isn't a particularly good idea.... I mean, if I was made aware of that post during interview process etc I'd end it right there and then as it's a business risk.

Idk they're a designer not a SWE. In this context I think it's reasonable, even noble, to put yourself in the spotlight and spread awareness to others who might be vulnerable. While it looks obvious in this context, if I were unemployed and hungry for a job I know I would be more susceptible to wishful thinking and rose-colored glasses. Yes they fell for a low level scam. They also minimised damage and spread awareness, I wouldn't disqualify a designer for this.

  Yes of course, but everyone should consider what future employers see, it may not always be reasonable or logical so the best choice is to keep something like this to yourself unless explicitly asked
