Remote Work Junkie - It's essential for 50% of jobseekers

How To Tell If A Work From Home Job Is A Scam ‡

1. Unprofessional Job Posts
2. Difficult to Find Any Company Information
3. Company Website Looks Fake or Potential Email Spoofing
4. High Pay for Minimal Job Efforts or Requirements
5. You’re Asked for Confidential Information
6. The Work From Home Job Is Urgent
7. You Are Asked To Pay For Something

Even if you are a savvy remote worker or very technologically advanced, you should always be on high alert for online scams.

It’s easy to become laid back or overconfident in your skills, but that’s exactly when you might make a costly mistake.

**Some specific job categories that could be scams:

πŸ‘‰ Mystery Shopping
πŸ‘‰ Medical Billing or Data Entry
πŸ‘‰ Starting An Online Business
πŸ‘‰ MLM Marketing
πŸ‘‰ Survey Jobs
πŸ‘‰ Reshipping
πŸ‘‰ Job placement
πŸ‘‰ Government & Postal
πŸ‘‰ Reselling goods
πŸ‘‰ Virtual assistant

**There are some legit WFH jobs in these above areas, but they are also heavily targeted with scams. So it’s something to be very mindful of if you explore any of these further.**

Be vigilant in your remote job search and who you share info with 🫑
