The amount of scam artists out there that prey on the unemployed and self employed/work from home people. As a self-employed cat I often browse sites like Gumtree to find contract and other odd jobs, as working for yourself can be very difficult at times. Every day I see many offers with their carefully put words offering a “real job” only to find out, after they have wasted your time with one, sometimes even two interviews, that you must pay for the training that might earn you a income, not provide a job, or that you need to pay a monthly admin fee or a once off admin fee, not refundable if the product don’t work for you. The “product” usually being some set of instructions showing you how to scam some other innocent cat out of there hard earned cash. What has happened to good-to-honest work for your money? Now its called “high commission structured pay”, sure there have to be bosses, but not everyone can be a boss, someone has to do the actual work, yet no one wants to pay to have it done. It is not possible for a cat to sell /supply a product/service all the time every time , all companies have their ups and downs. OK , so we getting a bit off track, back to the scammers. The real bad ones are the ones that actually steal your money, emails, phone calls or even letters that tell you to pay for transfer costs or require you to give up personal information, usually banking details, please confirm with your relative financial institution if it is really from them. Rather safe than penniless is what I say. ADS FOR AS LITTLE AS R60 Contact us at [email protected] or Call 083 266 1771 For information on ADS and promotions.
