Protect Yourself From Work From Home Scams | Learn Where To Stop
Do you think, the ads, articles, or videos claiming that you can earn thousands of dollars ($$) just sitting in one place and not doing anything, are legit??
For me, any ad that is luring and claims to pay you hundreds and thousands of dollars for just clicking a link or downloading any app, posting ads, or copy-pasting needs to be sincerely checked if they are scam.
Always keep in mind that people wouldn’t pay you even a $$ for not doing anything or just sitting!
However, affiliate marketing, blogging, book writing, etc. are some of the jobs that pay you passive income even when you don’t actively work.
But don’t forget the level of hard work, skill, time, and patience that goes behind these jobs to achieve the level when you can just sit and earn passive money.
So, putting it in simple words, it means that you get what you work for!
Nowadays, it has become crucial to always be alert before following the steps mentioned on a website to earn money or get a job.
Many people are being cheated by these work-from-home scams.
Here are a few of the ways, scams are happening:
- WhatsApp calls from international numbers and sending messages regarding work-from-home jobs.
- Some fake companies or websites would ask you to pay a fee to enroll yourself and start earning immediately on the platform.
- There are websites that ask you to pay $10 or so just for simple copy-pasting from one source to another.
- Some websites ask you to pay a fee for a course/training before they let you work and earn on their site.
- Use your social media accounts to post ads or other links, possibly they are not legit.
These were only a few examples of work-from-home scams.
Although I did not say that every site is involved in online or work-from-home fraud, there are a number of scams happening every day.
Most of the legit sites have now started putting notices on their websites to not pay any fee and be alert if someone asks you to pay to apply for the job.
Please note that you will never (almost 99.99%) be asked to pay to start earning for any job and the rule is… no work…. no pay.
Also, keep this in mind in case you find some odd statements where earning seems to be too much compared to the task… just check twice before you start!
In conclusion, there is no doubt that you can earn income as much as you want against the products and services you provide to a company or client based on your knowledge, skills, and expertise.
The more sincere you are to grow, the more opportunities you can attract and earn accordingly.
So, beware and check before you start if the website you wish to work for is legit or not!
