There are millions of ads every day advertising big money jobs.

Employers are looking for employees, not trying to find ways of wasting money on third rate advertising by losers who can't find something better to do with their lives.

WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR:

Ø The nature of the job isn't clear. It's called something like 'customer service', but you don't know exactly what you'd be doing.

Ø Long ads. A lot of talk, a link, and no idea what even the business is.

Ø Endless testimonials. Fred from Gaga View Utah is making millions, and won't say much more than everybody else should do it, too. If you look at most testimonials, you'll find you really have seen them before. They're often cut and paste.

Ø Product sales pitches for guidance on How To Make Billions On the Internet. People do make billions on the net, and none of them do it like that.

Ø Sales and On Target Earnings. The sales part is the real job, and the OTE can be any figure you can come up with using a calculator and a lot of figures from thin air. Ironically, some are real jobs, but they're rarely good ones. Real employers advertise real wages and retainers.

SOME SPAM IS DANGEROUS.

Ø Unsolicited emails about jobs. These are extremely dangerousYour first question is how they found you, not what they're selling. If you have an online resume, be warned: These can be targeted. Police information is that so-called jobs are actually part of money laundering operations by criminals, and that's how they find third parties to handle money for them. You could be actually committing a crime, whether you know it or not. Even if it's an apparently legitimate employer, check it out. Ask for a contact person, and a phone number, because you can track those far more easily than email. /P>

Ø Phishing. This is the process of identity theft, getting bank account details for your supposed wages. Never give any account details, not even the name of your bank, until after you've seen a real employer, a real job, and have some reason to believe there's a reason to give those details.

Ø Identity Theft has to start somewhere. Give no information which could possibly be used as part of your identification until you're sure who's getting it, and why it's required. Under Privacy laws, you don't have to supply personal information except under clearly defined circumstances.

Ø Fake businesses and websites. Fake websites are very convincing, but they have their weaknesses. Some don't even have branches in the places scammers try to do business. Somebody even tried setting up a fake PayPal site. If you type in the real website address, you get a real site. If you just hit a link, you get diverted to a fake site. Check the URL for the real site, and compare with the link.

Any scam you see, report it, and help keep the world trash-free.

Note: You can always report scams to the big credit cards, PayPal, Western Union, and banks, as well as police and internet providers. If you can shut down their ability to move money around, you can really hit back at them.

Don't waste your time and risk your money on unknowns.

See these things, recognize them, and avoid them.
