Work-from-home dream jobs
These scams existed before the pandemic, but are on the rise now. Who doesn’t want to make 3K a week working from home? And just three hours of work a day? Sounds like a pretty sweet deal. You may see job listings pop up as promoted posts on Instagram. You might pursue them, and even speak to what feels like a real person. They may send you an application, with many standard questions, but then ask for information about your bank account “for payroll purposes.” It is not normal for a company to ask for this information this early in the application process. At legitimate jobs, this happens much later. A quick Internet search of this “angelic” company will likely reveal they are scammers.
