11 Signs of an Online Job Scam

Signs of a “Make Money Online” Scam
Be very wary of the following promises:
- Lots of money within days or weeks!
- No experience is needed!!!
- Easy to operate/run/do (maybe even in your sleep)!
- Work a couple of hours and watch the money roll in!
- Once you get started, you’re set for life!!
