Scam Sites Online Job Hunters should Avoid

Be careful when you use the internet to find a job. Although there are sites that provide real earning opportunities, scammers abound on the internet. There are plenty of websites that claim to offer online jobs and earning opportunities but all they are really after is to take advantage and scam people. Below are some of the websites that you should avoid if you are on the lookout for an online job or any earning opportunity. These sites may look credible and their offers may seem legitimate but these are fraudulent sites offering fake job opportunities.

Realwritingjobs.com 

Realwritingjobs.com targets writers and people looking for home based writing jobs but the site asks for $34.00 or the equivalent amount in your currency in exchange for member access. Although there are legitimate sites that ask for membership or monthly fees so you can get job leads, Realwritingjobs.com  is suspicious because inexperienced writers are encouraged to join as long as they pay the membership fee. Most Realwritingjobs.com reviews that can be found online are also negative and there are reports of unauthorized charges from the members’ credit cards.

Dataentryjobs.us
The testimonials you see on the Dataentryjobs.us website can be convincing but there are there are a number of  reasons why you should not join this site. For one, you need to pay to be a member. You can also Google for reviews and information about the website and you will find many people reporting about not getting paid, not receiving replies to their emails and not getting refunds from this site.

Onlinejobstonight.com

The text you find on the Onlinejobstonight.com website can give you the  impression that it provides real online jobs from the world's best companies. The site also claims to have been featured by Washington Post, Bloomberg Businessweek, ABC, CNBC and CNN making it more enticing for job hunters to invest on the $19.95 database of online jobs it offers. It should be noted that the amount is payment for a digital product, a database of online jobs that you can use to hunt for a job. You still have to apply and compete with other applicants before you can get hired. It also isn't  true that Onlinejobstonight.com was featured  by Washington Post, Bloomberg Businessweek and several other credible sites. Onlinejobstonight.com (also Workonlinetonight.com) tries to mislead people to believe it is endorsed by reputable companies so it will appear legitimate and trustworthy. Although Online Jobs Tonight may deliver the $19.95 digital product, job hunters are better off to stay away from this site because of its misleading information and over-hyped online jobs listing.
