Scammers can be found at every turn. Most often, they just play on human feelings: greed, despair and fear of being left homeless. In most cases, scammers can be recognized even before you start contacting them.
The main criterion that helps to recognize fraudsters is prepayment. It doesn't matter if you are looking for a formal job or trying to make money online. Money is most often asked for sent materials, paperwork, verification of test papers, or simply as a guarantee of your conscientiousness and adequacy.
No normal company will require an investment of money before getting a job. Maximum - registration of a sanitary book or the purchase of business clothes (if these items were not available). Therefore, if you came to get a job in any company, and you are asked to pay for training and handouts, while exposing fabulous sums, then you are probably scammers.
Unrealistic offers
Scammers love to make unrealistic offers. Invest 100 rubles and get 100,000 right now. Or they offer a job with a monthly salary of a couple of hundred thousand. But most of all, they like to make such proposals on the Internet. "How to make $ 5000 a day doing nothing" is a typical headline. As a rule, they offer various schemes for winning in online casinos, which are doomed to failure in advance.
By the way, many attractions such as a rotating horizontal bar are built on this principle. People are offered to invest an insignificant amount (50-100 rubles), hang on the horizontal bar for a couple of minutes and take ten times more. But if it were that simple, they would have gone bankrupt in the first hour.
This also includes any other gambling entertainment: thimbles, throws of darts and balls, card games, casinos. Of course, the last two categories can hardly be called a scam, but they work on the same principle. It is impossible to get something from nothing. The principle of the casino, for example, is designed in such a way that the croupier is always the winner.
Strong need
When a person has an urgent need for something (an apartment, work, etc.), then he is more inclined to commit rash acts. This is used by various scammers working under the guise of news agencies. They promise to provide people numbers that will certainly help you. In practice, there will be no one on the other end of the line, or there will be a figurehead, or the offer will turn out to be truly terrible.
Therefore, always read reviews about a particular company, conclude contracts and find out all the dangerous points in advance. It is best to contact companies that have helped your friends or acquaintances.
