EMPLOYMENT SCAMS


                                          

 

 

Employment Scams

Employment scams have been running rampant for some time now. Employment scams are all about getting the most money for nothing. Employment scams are usually when an individual poses as an employee and tries to extort as much money from the employees as possible within the shortest amount of time. These employment scams usually happen in distant countries and continents, such as the Middle East, Europe, South Africa, and West Africa. It is well documented that these scams are so well executed that these “employers” might have separate websites and companies that are dedicated strictly to the scam that they are putting on. The entire operation is a big scam and there are usually many people involved on the other side, trying to scam the people here. Although there are many loopholes these employment scams jump through, there are still ways to find out when an opportunity is just too good to be true and a determined scam.


Ways to tell if it’s a scam


The ways in which you would tell if you are in the middle of an employment scam is to first check out whom the email or letter or even phone call is coming from. Usually these employment scams will send an email from an undisclosed location to an undisclosed email address; and for some reason, it ends up in your inbox or spam box. The rule goes that if you don’t know exactly who is sending you a particular email, don’t fall for it. These employment scams can suck the life out of a person by telling them lies about loads of money that has yet to be claimed. The saying goes; if it is too good to be true, then it probably is. This saying could not be closer to the truth and fits this predicament perfectly. Don’t fall victim to an employment scam, always keep your eyes and ears open and go with your gut, it rarely will lead us astray.
