So I feel that if I can help people not to be scammed, then I should. So I will share a few red flags and sites that ought to help you know about scams.

First I'll start off with some rules to live by-

Never pay a dime! Real jobs in the real world, don't ask for you money, right? So why pay to "get hired"?

If it sounds too good to be true, then chances are that it is.

Do research, read up about it as much as you can. Look for proofs of payment! If you see more people are saying it's a scam and less amount of people saying it isn't, don't bother. If the larger amount of people are saying they got paid and fewer say it's a scam, try it with a grain of salt.

If they don't tell you what you do to get paid, or they claim that you get paid by surfing the net or owning a part of the internet, don't bother.

Now some scams that are large out here in world wide web.

Data Entry-

We all have heard of these dream jobs, and all have wanted them. It sounds so easy and quick to make money through. But, if anyone else has googled the term "data entry", you would be shown scams up the neck! Most ask you for a "small fee", and then your on your own. Not good. Most data entry type of jobs are scams, so the safest bet is, don't try any data entry.
