"Earn 10K to 50K from home online & offline, data entry,
form filling jobs, online survey, click to earn, sms sending & ad clicking
jobs."
"Make money in your free time, work only for 2-3 hrs per day. Anybody & everybody can make quick cash."
These days
the print & online media is flooded with such alluring advertisements. Have
anyone paid a heed what this business is all about? They have informative
websites with fancy & trouble-free ways to earn thousand at a click & a
range of packages. Once the seeker is hypnotized with the easy & most
profitable way to make cash, most of the websites ask for a registration &
charge nominal fee.
But what happens after that? Do you really think this works?
Have anyone found a
genuine business so far?
“If everything is so
simple & easy then why are people slogging 9-10 hrs at office, waiting for
appraisals, struggling with traffic, running around with month end targets?”
“When they can sit at
home & print currency.”
It is very important to analyse before jumping into
conclusion. Most of the internet based
jobs are fake, scam & dupe innocent people with conjuring money making
ideas. Their main motive is collecting registration amount, sometimes taking
the work out without keeping their payment promises & at times extracting
confidential information.
I would like to share my experience with one such hoax
company. During my graduation, back in
my native, I came across one such fascinating ad in the newspaper mentioning “Make money in your free time doing
paperwork...write your full address and contact details in an envelope with
five rupee stamp on it and send it to ...” I was curious to know the secret
of making effortless pocket money so I followed the instructions. A couple of
days later I received the same envelope with a catalogue for earning great
money sitting at home & they asked for a nominal registration fee to become
a member & share the formula kit for success. By then my inquisitiveness
has reached its peak and I gave away my savings for the membership. Within
fifteen days the success secret was
in my hand, it had an information book & some forms.
Now I am going to spill out the miraculous secret in the
kit. There were almost 1000 ideas how to fool people in the name of quick &
easy earnings & build a network by registering members. I need to advertise
in the same way & pull members to join the chain & registration amount
will be shared with me & the company. The more joinees under me the more I
earn. It was all a con business & no actual work at all. I had learnt my
lesson that day & read all the tricks in the book thus I can never fall a
prey again.
Below are some tips to crosscheck any such advertisement.
1) Look for complete ownership details in the website, read
online reviews (but many a times fake reviews are also presented to create a
genuine impression).
2) Don’t fall for fairy tale stories. Getting a good job is
not that easy.
3) You're offered a job without an application, interview,
or discussion with the employer. Sometimes your personal & bank details are
asked.
4) Unprofessional emails from weird email ids. (Amateur
writing, spelling & grammar mistakes)
5) No proper contact information of the company & its
base.
6) Some victims have even received few initial checks but
once they start working full fledged there is no sign of payments & no one
to catch hold of.
7) Legitimate companies don’t ask for money. If
you’re told that you need to purchase software or pay for services, membership,
etc, beware.
8) Check references & contact existing employees.
9) Sometimes the one who falls a prey also drags others in
the swamp. Please avoid.
10) Finally, research, research, research before jumping
into the well. Ask question & try to
get in touch for details clarification.
