Last week talked about creating more income by new job or working a part time work aka side hustle. First have to warn you about falling for scams. When you start looking for advice there are so many scams that come up.
Warned about For Profit Colleges pedaling useless degrees after sticking you with college loans that never go away.
“Work from Home” is its own category there are so many. Stuffing envelopes has evolved into clicking websites. Secret shoppers is another where you front your money may never be reimbursed.
Another category is paying for information to get Government or US Postal Service jobs that pay $100,000 or more. Mail carriers actually earn between $40-$60,000. These scams target jobs that require testing.
Collecting money for a business is a scam. They is no real reason a legitimate business cannot collect money in their own account no matter what. Anyone wanting to deposit money in your account is giving you a fake check that you will have to replace from your savings at the bank.
When anyone sends you too much money and asks for change, likely they sent a fake check.
Anyone asking for payment in gift cards is a scam. Seen too many out-of-state cars for sale at great prices asking for Western Union money transfers. They stole a picture of the car.
Fake websites with unbelievable prices, just want to steal your credit card and identity.
“If it is too good to be true…” needs to key you someone is trying to set you up. Think of Nigerian princes, found money, or lotteries you didn’t enter you won. Scammers are not the same, but somehow when I find one they sound similar. They want you emotionally excited I won so you stop thinking.
You can often avoid fake jobs by Goggling “company name scam”. AARP Fraud Watch Network and KomoNews Consumer section are very good educating you about scams.
Work is going to take work on your part. Anything worthwhile is worth investing your time researching how to succeed.
