Internet is the most common place for scams, people here will use for their personal profits. This can be the most popular reason why people wont choose the path of working online as freelancer. But you can avoid this, if you take precautions and necessary steps. Everyone of us can be a victim of the online job scam but you act right and take proper decisions you can save your time and energy on those scams.
These are some common scams that you should be aware of :
= You will need to pay for membership or software before you can start working.
Never do such stupid thing. It is an employers responsibility to provide with all the necessary things. You should not pay even a single rupee for this.
= Please start working now, we can discuss the payment later.
Never agree for work without talking about the payment terms. Make the payment terms very clear. Never let a cheater take advantage of this.
= Rush Job, Limited Positions.
This may be a scam. Lot of freelancers fall into this. The job which is rush to take contractors and dont talk much about the job but offers you high payments clearly shows false hopes.
= No Information about the company. Unknown
If ever you get an email about a company you never heard of, And even you can't search the company in the internet, then it is clearly a scam. Never click links on that email because it can be a web to trap you. They will steal your personal data and information.
Remember that you are a talented person. There will be lot of companies which will hire you and willing to pay you for your work. So never fall for the hypes of getting rich instantly.
I never experienced such scams and I also don't wont you all to fall in scams. When you are searching for jobs remember these points. If some of you have ever experienced scams and paid money to someone for getting job, then please share your views here. Please post comments on this.
