Scams are not only visible in the realm of online work, it’s also found in some offline jobs. Some employers are fooling their applicants by the promise they are offering: good compensation, good workloads etc. but in reality, they are fooled by these employers.
I think the best way that you won’t get fooled by such is by taking a track record by those companies who are hiring, look for some pros and cons, testimonials and reviews of their legitimacy so that next time when you apply for a certain position, you’ll be aware about the company’s background.

You know, it is something many people worry about, and this is the warning that is out there all the time. Many places plan to pay you if you invest a lot of money to get started. There are legitimate places out there. Some are harder to work with, but it just depends where you I've and are interested in. But like anything else many times it just takes time to find them.

Hi dee777, nowadays we live in era where money talks in society. I wonder if those bad eggs have forgotten morality totally and become inhuman pick. They can see money in their eyes only Further more countless of jobless job seekers looking job on line. They canning enough to pick the most easy way in the virtual world to earn their living by taking big advantage from those who are all eagerness to look for job during. And no one will know who these culprits are after they have been cheated
Happy posting

There are scams through the history of humankind. It is because the internet is somewhat new, and we are not used to scams on the internet. There are people who will take advantage of the vulnerable and they are the scum of the earth, as far as I am concerned. So, what we can do is beware that these scums. Never join a program by paying money. Only join online opportunities for free, the honest ones will let you join for free, so you can check them out first. And then, still be careful. There are ways to earn online, but it still takes time and skill to build up an online income.

Scammers don't know nor do they care about who their victims are, to them it is bout the money they are able to convince gullible people online to give to them in the promise of incredible returns ,personally i think ,well it takes two hands to clap, those looking for a quick means of income without having to work for it will be easily scammed because in the 1st place it is their own greed that lead them to be convinced. Those who are genuinely hunting for legitimate opportunities to work at home usually do so with a cautious approach. and will not be so easy to convince to part with their money to invest in all the incredible schemes, personally, they will not spend a dime on anything till they are absolutely sure that their money is used wisely for a purpose they intended. realizing there is no such thing as a get rich quick program.online, i dont know about vulnerable job seekers,just feel that if these job seekers respond to every incredible claim that they can make money ery fast by joinig this program or signing up with that affiliate that promises more than they can ever deliver then i t is very likely the person will end up in poverty before they will get the promised returns of their investments.
Job seekers need to be smart and cautious when they are looking for work at home opportunities, it is not really difficult to sift through what is which if they use common sense and not greed to lead their way in looking fo real online jobs.And also not to participate in anything they totally dont understand or know about

Thanx bryanwmc! You have assisted me so much and I want to thank you. Online-business must now work for me and I will carefully follow the guidelines you have send me (email). I agree that we should never get involved in business we know nothing about, and it's great when people do not mind guiding you!

I think it is because whenever there is a big demand for something, people find a way to take advantage of that. Remember, online earning scams are not the only scams out there, there are plenty of dating scams, lottery scams and such things as well. So as long as people really want to find love, get rich or whatever, there will always be someone who finds a way to take advantage of that for their own benefit. Sad but true :(

Because many people just focus on money and those who want money will be treated easily.
