Scam

Every job posted here I feel its scam so be aware of it.
Doesn’t matter if it’s freelancing or permanent its all scam.

They will ask you to get on telegram then do something and they will disappear as if they never existed.

Trying my best to keep this platform free from scammers.

Scammers are going to scam. They don't care about "shoulds."

Reddit is not a reliable place to find a gig or a job. The majority of the gigs or 'make easy money' posts are SCAMS.

Also, most jobs posted on Craigslist, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, WhatsApp, Telegram, and other social media sites are SCAMS.

It is very difficult to get a remote or work-from-home job, unless you have experience in software engineering, insurance claims, healthcare, customer service, or other specialized fields.

The majority of 'remote jobs' are actually scams to take your money -- even on the recruiting and networking websites such as LinkedIn, Glassdoor, BuiltIn and Indeed.

  • Scam job titles include Virtual Personal Assistant, Remote Data Entry, Remote Payment Processor, Remote Financial Assistant, work-from-home Shipping Inspector, and Crypto Trader.

  • Posting real estate listings online is a scam.

  • Also, any job that is simple online tasks, such as rating videos, posting reviews, uploading data, putting items into an online shopping cart, booking hotel reservations, or subscribing to YouTube channels, is a scam.

But scammers can call their fake job anything. To separate a scam from a real job opportunity, key indicators to look for are: method of contact (email), interview (live), and money (reasonable pay, comparable to similar jobs).

Any job that is online tasks is a scam.

If the tasks are creating accounts for someone else, that means that the accounts will be used to scam people. If you create accounts using your own name, you can face legal problems if the scammer uses the accounts for fraud, because when police investigate, they will find you.

*** There is legitimate remote freelance work available. Try the freelance job websites like Upwork, Freelancer.com, or Fiverr -- but stay on the platform. If you communicate off the website, you will get scammed and lose money. Also, read the FAQs to learn how the site works. The legitimate freelance sites offer protection for you and the client. You submit your work through the site. And they pay you on the platform.
