How to find work and not become a victim of scammers

There are a huge number of tricks thatthey are used as relatively harmless companies, as well as outright scammers. Let's figure out how to identify scammers when looking for work, so as not to spend their time, money and nerves on them.

Direct sales and network companies

If you were looking for a job, you probably encounteredwith proposals for work in network companies or trade in direct sales. In fact, these companies are not scammers, but in their ads they are often disingenuous. Typically, their ads look like this: we are looking for motivated, sociable people, education and age do not matter, the income is big (here the figures may vary significantly depending on the region), the schedule is free.

In that case, you can be ninety percentbe sure that you are offered a network business or direct sales. There is another option. There is a vacancy for a courier, a sales consultant, an office manager without an indication of the company, when you come to an "interview", then you are told that you need to go to offices / universities / shops / apartments and offer books / optics / knives / equipment and stuff.

In some cases, you may be offered to contributea certain amount, which is 50-100 dollars or more - for the opening of the site, the purchase of educational literature and so on. Unfortunately, such fraudsters are difficult to identify by simply reading the ad text, since quite respectable companies also may not provide detailed information.

Calls and sms to paid numbers

One of the most popular types of fraud in theIn recent years, use of paid numbers as contacts has been used in job advertisements. These can be short numbers for sms or calls. Identify scammers in this case quite simply - the numbers of mobile operators with a high fee for every second of the conversation are different from the usual code from the first three digits.

So, if in your region there is no mobileoperator with a code, for example, "060", then, most likely, calls to this number are paid. For reliability, you can enter a number in the search engine and find which operator it belongs to, you can also find out the cost of SMS for short numbers.

Simple work at home

This is how often announcements beginassembly of pens, gluing envelopes, typing and so on. The peculiarity of this type of deception lies in the fact that in the first letters you will be promised a good extra earnings for unpretentious work, which, by and large, even a child can cope with.

However, when you agree to this, you will be told,that it is necessary to send a certain amount (usually up to $ 10), to purchase materials / assurance of good faith / payment of postage costs and so on. After sending money there can be two options: you can really send some materials and a chasm after your work is done or disappear from the horizon right away.

These are only the most common types of fraud atjob search. In fact, they are much larger. So, separate, seemingly respectable companies, do not hesitate to take students or people for a trial period of one to two months, without payment, after which they fire with the words "you do not fit us".

Personnel agencies promise to help find a job forreward and give the numbers of non-existent companies and so on, there are a lot of options. In this regard, you should carefully study all available information about the employer, if possible, document the employment relationship and carefully read the contracts that you sign. In addition, if the employer asks you for money, promising a huge income, it is almost always a fraud. Remember that money can not be obtained simply and always objectively evaluate the situation, then it will be very difficult to deceive you.
