Currently, one of the most effective online scams deals with job offers. Taking advantage of those needing to find a way to earn more income, those bogus job offers from a so-called employer generally involves paying a fee for further assistance in securing the possible job.
Often, the money is needed for “training” or “equipment.” But there are no jobs, just people willing to hook new victims.
An alternate version is when the fake employer sends a bogus paycheck that cannot be cashed. In the meantime, more money will be solicited from the victim.
