The job market has stayed pretty tight since the 2008 financial crisis (particularly for those without an advanced degree), and many people are so hard up they’re eager to believe in whatever opportunities come along, even if they smell a little fishy. This is a mistake. It’s not just that you could end up working for no money, you might even be taken for your own savings if you’re not careful. Here’s a baker’s dozen of scams hot out of the con man’s oven:
- ANY “FREE GOVERNMENT MONEY” OFFER.
- AN “EMPLOYER” WHO SENDS YOU PACKAGES AND ASKS YOU TO “RESHIP” THEM.
- THE ENVELOPE-STUFFING SCAM.
- MEDICAL BILLING JOBS FROM HOME.
- CRAFT-ASSEMBLING JOBS.
- THE CLASSIC NIGERIAN SCAM WITH AN EMPLOYMENT TWIST.
- TYPING FROM HOME.
- PHISHING DISGUISED AS JOB OFFERS.
- CHECK “OVERPAYMENT” SCAMS.
- “MYSTERY SHOPPER” JOBS.
- MONEY-LAUNDERING AKA PAYMENT PROCESSING.
- REBATE PROCESSING.
