Work at Home Scams?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm convinced that these are nothing but scams. I keep getting ads from WP about how you can make a little bit more monthly. A few that I've found are Wealthy Affiliate, whose company is Niche Marketing Inc. from Vancouver, Canada who seem somewhat legitimate, but I not convinced. Partner with Paul which is a total scam by the way since there is no address whatsoever to look at, and another is WAHrev which is another scam despite the official News logo on the top of their page. Which I found out by looking at the so called address for their " business " is in Ohio, but I looked at their contact information and the zip code is 77077 which is the zip code for Houston, TX.

Both Partner with Paul and WAHrev give no insight on how you make money. Just a vague description, and nothing else at least Wealthy Affiliate gives you a clue on how you make money by building a webpage, and directing people to your site. Kind of like a personal business which is the impression I got from it. Again I'm not convinced at all If there is anyone from Canada who knows the zip code for Vancouver to see if it is a real thing it would help a lot. Why I'm doing this? Because a few months ago I was nearly scammed out of my money, not by these two "companies " but by something else. Thankfully I realized my mistake before it was too late, and froze my bank account to create a new one. * I'm still bitter at myself for being naive by the way * * face palms self several times * It's funny too because whenever you leave their page I'm talking about WAHrev by the way. You get a little message saying before you go, you can get a 50% discount on their product that reserved for friends and family, but it ends today. I just got that same exact message yesterday.

I just want to know if Alex is aware of these scams. Hopefully no one has bought into these traps.

The vast majority of work from home "opportunities" are scams. Some which are not actual scams only come close to being useless, like making you pay to learn how to build a website to create a tiny residual income by directing traffic to your sponsor's advertising. And other such nonsense that you can learn for free by googling or asking people.

You can easily google the postal code and telephone area code for Vancouver. Or for anywhere in the world.

As I suspected.

There's a relatively easy way to tell right away if something is a real work from home opportunity, or if they're the ones who are working from home by making money tricking you.

Real jobs, whether they are work from home or not, only take qualified applicants. You can't start working right away and you have to apply, like filling out a long and detailed form with your work experience, education, references and so on. Also they don't advertise because they have thousands of people already applying constantly. You're not able to begin working right away. If anyone seems willing to take your offer right away with minimal background checks, clearly that is not going to be a genuine work position. If anyone asks you to pay to learn something about the job or purchase a "starter package", that's not a genuine work position either.

There is an easy and fast method to detect such scams, both online and IRL.
