With 100% of young people needing to hustle, conmen wanapenda kutumia job scams ku-trick young people wa-join pyramid schemes.
Don’t fall for Job Scams, as they’ve become very convincing recently!
Cheki tips unafaa kuangalia ku-avoid kuwa scammed about a job or opportunity ama gig umeona online!!
1️⃣ If it sounds too good to be true it probably is
Kuna opportunities mob zinakua posted online na zina-promise a lot with little effort.
Wasee wakiku-promise a lot of money for very little work, it’s a massive red flag. We don’t like to crush dreams, but tunajua no one can become a millionaire na a few hours of work a month.
Usi-buy into fairytales or false promises. Often, hard work always bears the best and most consistent fruit.
2️⃣ You are asked to (urgently) make a payment to get the job
This one is a big NO!
Any job means that THEY should pay YOU. Kulipa ndio u-get a job ni sign simple kuwa ni fraud, (inamaanisha utalipa, but they have no job to give), corruption, ama pyramid scam.
Pyramid scheme ni fraudulent system ya ku-make dough based on recruiting an ever-increasing number of "investors."
The initial promoters huwa wana-recruit investors, nao in-turn wana-recruit more investors, and so on.
Hii scheme ndio huitwa "pyramid" because at each level, the number of investors increases.
At some point, the schemes get too big, the promoter cannot raise enough money from new investors to pay earlier investors, and people lose their money.
3️⃣ The job description is not public
Kama msee ako unable ama unwilling ku-provide details on a public website or social platform, or on the phone, kaa chonjo!
Cons huwa hawataki ku-list deals zao fake publicly – so wata-try kuku-trick uingie ndani as privately as possible.
4️⃣ The job description is vague
Promises mob za vile unaweza “make money from home” ama ni possible “ ku-make money from anywhere in the world” bila proper description job utafanya inafaa kuwa treated with great care always.
Ukiona ama u-feel kuna kitu inafichwa ama inakaa dirty job, kaa chonjo!
5️⃣ MESH will never offer you a job in exchange for money
