A Few Most Common Fake Online Jobs; Beware of It!
But, as you know, the Internet is not always a safe place to communicate and work, so here present a few fakest online jobs that are very common.
Here are two types of online job scams;
1. Asking for money for a job agreement, but you’ll never get a job. Scammers offer a fascinating income opportunity in return for a job registration fee. This type of offer is a straightforward scam.
2. Asking for a job registration fee, you will get a job.
But you’ll never earn from it. This type of scam is tough to figure out. You can’t complain about this type of job because you agreed to the terms and conditions during the job registration. Scammers will never write a concrete job and approval process into terms and conditions. So, you never know whether your work will be approved or not. Most of the time, they disapprove of jobs without any valid reasons. Remember, a clever cheater does not cheat at the very first stage.
Here is a list of typical scam jobs.
➤ No.1 Ad Posting Job:
Well, I’ve already warned people about fake Ad posting jobs through my posts. And once again, I like to inform you that online Ad posting jobs can not be 100% genuine as it has no good source where a job provider can convert clients’ ads into money. So, the only process left is rotating registration fees which is undoubtedly a fake process.
No.2 Data Entry Job:
According to my list, this online job is the second most popular fake online job. Generally, we know that data entry means converting printed, written documents into digital format. It was trendy earlier, but nowadays, every printed copy is available digitally. Still, only a few governments/public firms are tendering data entry which is very small that a company can’t run depending on that.
➤ Proof Reading job:
Proofreading and Data entry jobs are like brother and sister. They are directly related to each other. The digital written words that come from the data entry need checking, so proofreading comes into play. But, all is undoubtedly fake cause if we find online data entry has no strong base, how can proofreading be genuine?
➤No.4 Captcha Solving Jobs:
This job is a part of Cybercrime! Ordinary people do not know what they are doing by doing this job. Let’s clarify the subject- Captcha is a security checkup for highly secure websites. For instance, if someone tries to create too many Gmail accounts using software, it goes through a security checkup called Captcha solving. Spammer can’t bypass this security using any software cause it’s written in image format. So, they hire innocent ordinary people to avoid the security checkup. So, CAPTCHA’s solving job is purely illegal.
➤No.5 Survey Jobs:
I don’t believe in survey jobs anymore. Earlier, small and medium size businesses did not have the infrastructure to get customer opinions of their own to make their business/service more customer friendly! So, they hired a third party with the infrastructure to do the job.
But, almost every company/organisation (needing customer opinion) has their own infrastructure. Besides this, today, many practical and fully functional survey software available in the market is more affordable than hiring a survey company.
➤No.6 Email Reading Jobs:
Do people don’t have much time to read emails? Do companies pay for reading their promotional emails? If so, then what is their business plan? How are they converting reading emails into money?
All are fake! There is no legitimate way to make money by reading third-party emails.
The only job available related to email is an email handling job. Yes, many companies hire virtual assistants to handle their email. But here, a virtual assistant plays the role of an employee of the company.
➤No.7. SMS Sending Jobs:
It’s also a trap. Yes, many small and big companies are still doing SMS marketing to get customers or promote special offers, but no one is using a third party.
Today, much-advanced bulk SMS marketing software is available in the market. These are easy to use and also cost and time efficient.
The actual list of scam online jobs is very long. It’s not possible to discuss all of them in a single place.
So, never do an online job until you know it very clearly.
