Job Offer Scams: 'Earn $300/Day From Home' Decoded
Unemployment + AI-generated recruiter messages = the perfect storm. These are the patterns and the questions that expose them.
Task scams
You 'review products' for commission, then asked to deposit to unlock higher tiers. Classic Ponzi mechanic.
Reshipping mules
You receive packages and forward them. The packages are bought with stolen cards — you become the fence.
Upfront 'training fee'
No legitimate employer charges you to start.
Interview by chat only
Real employers do video. Always.
The bottom line
Send the offer letter or recruiter chat to ScamGuard on WhatsApp.
