From time to time, such suspicious job offers advertising jobs with just a phone number, name, high salaries and no obvious qualification requirements as well as positions appear like mushrooms everywhere in my coty, which is why it can only be assumed that they have illicit intentions (probably money muling). Therefore, what is an effective way to make life harder for these guys and most importantly, stop people from falling for this garbage (besides pulling this crap down)?

Close to me (around 600m or 2000ft), Germany's newest cellular provider, 1&1 has put up a cell site some time ago and since January 1st this year in addition to 50 MHz n78 and 10 MHz B7, they also have 10 MHz B1. This wasn't enabled on many sites up until now even though the hardware was already installed. While even with B7, 1&1 always worked indoors for me, now it works better. What didn't function was CA with B7 and it looks like they have turned down the power in B7, likely to make devices closer to the site connect to the B7 rather than the B1 to reserve more capacity for users further away. For some reason, n78 also didn‘t want to work today, but as we see with the upload speeds (even in upload testing, they never went above 2 Mbps) that's almost certainly down to power constraints of the phone and even higher frequency. But unlike Vodafone, 1&1 does at the very least work, I'd say it's probably in 2nd place behind Telekom, maybe 3rd place behind O2. If 1&1 service is not deployed, similar to DISH (RIP), users will instead use Vodafone. Another interesting thing is, that 1&1 only uses fiber backhauling with the benefit of directly hooking up the RRUs and AAUs to the baseband in a centralized place rather than having own basebands for single sites.
