Be careful with Online Job Scams
After the pandemic, many of us have started looking for online jobs as this can be done from home. Even people who are working full time also look for some options to work online and generate some income. It's good if we have some backup plan because, during the time of the Corona lockdown, we have seen people struggling. Industries were affected so people lost their jobs and because we were at home people also figured out different ways to earn money. More digitization has happened because of the pandemic lockdown.
I have seen some of the news articles and as per the news, there is some online job scam going on. They offer some easy jobs and pay you a small amount in the beginning to gain your trust. Later they create different situations and ask people to invest money. They have different plans so if we invest more then we can earn more. The job is mostly very simple so we might need to like some Youtube videos or may like some Google pages etc. They follow different ways so hard to say which one they can use. I have been reading about such news articles for the last couple of weeks and even there was a news that one person lost a big amount because of these scams.
Here I am linking one article that I read yesterday and thought of sharing this post about it. First of all, it is surprising how can someone pay such a huge amount to any company just for the sake of getting returns for an easy job. I can't say because it is difficult to believe but maybe it happened and that is why this news channel has covered it. If anyone asked me to pay first and then earn through any job then my answer is going to be no because I'm simply not interested. this is a clear case of a scam and we need to be careful especially if somebody is asking for money.
Man joins Telegram group to start part-time job, but ends up losing Rs 31 lakh from bank account
Surprisingly I also got some messages on my Whatsapp and they offered a similar job to me but I just ignored them because I know it's a scam. so here I am sharing some snapshots of these scam job offers received on my WhatsApp. Some messages are looking like they are from a genuine company but I want to mention here that I did some Google research and all these are fake because these companies do not offer such types of jobs. There is no need to respond to these messages because ultimately they might end up scamming and it is better to avoid them.
Here is the one -
Another one-
One more-
I'm surprised that how come they get the number because I do not share my number on social media. I heard that the telecom companies also sell out the data to the 3rd party but I'm not sure if this is real or not. These marketing people have got some connexions I think so they get the data from a lot of people and they use their mobile numbers to do such scams but we need to be careful because there is no such job exist where you can earn a few 1000 rupees just for working one or 2 hours in a day.
Technology is growing and with that, we are getting multiple benefits because things are getting easier for us but at the same time, these scammers are using the same technology to cheat people. they try different ways to scam people and look at them but we need to be careful because anything that easily comes to us without even applying for it then it is a scam. I have not applied for any job after the pandemic so how come somebody has raised out to me and offered this easy job and it can pay me well?
So my dear friends, if you get this type of message then you just need to ignore it. Losing money is painful and I hope no one loose their hard-earned money. We need to be careful and this way we can avoid the loss and time also.
Thank you so much
Stay Safe

Thanks for sharing this useful information. I am wary of trying out new things (although recently i have been doing a lot of airdrop hunting) I believe it is important to do enough research before pathing with your money. This way you can verify the authenticate of what is been pushed to you. These scammers are getting smarter by the day and we need to also learn and improve our security
Thank you for sharing this insightful post. One just have to be guided as there are so many out there that all they want to do is hurt their fellow.
Thanks for liking it and we can avoid such scams if we pay more attention to it as there is no way to make easy money
Better to avoid being greedy....
If we can avoid to be greedy then we will never fall on trap.
Most people get swindled due to the fact that they see that people crave to make money and they use that oppportunity to extort them. Thats why we need to be very careful in our dealings no matter what comes around.
Its all because of greed as we expect something easy that should be paying good. This looks like an opportunity in the beginning but its not.
