Exposed: The Fake Work from Home Job Scam That's Costing People Thousands

Exposed: The Fake Work from Home Job Scam That's Costing People Thousands

In this video, I'm exposing a dangerous work from home job scam that's costing people thousands of dollars. The scam involves a "company" that sends job seekers a check to cash so they can purchase equipment for their supposed work from home job. However, the check is always for more than the equipment costs, and the company asks the job seeker to send back the excess money. Once the bank clears the check, the job seeker is on the hook for paying back the full amount - even though the check was fake.

I'll explain how this scam works, how to spot it, and what to do if you've already fallen victim to it. I'll also share some tips for finding legitimate work from home jobs and avoiding scams like this in the future. Don't let yourself become the next victim of this dangerous scam - watch this video to learn how to protect yourself and your finances.

Delilah it’s happening everyday to me. My red flag is bank info before you even meet a person. Texts also come in saying I saw your resume on INDEED! I block

[mochasmoment]

The red flag was an interview on Skype or Whatsapp. No one should be asking for personal info. I agree with everything you're saying. I hate this is happening to innocent ppl.

[jdebtcs]

Thanks for making this video and for the tips, Delilah. I was once almost a victim of this type of scam a few years ago and I thought I was the type who would never fall for something like this, so it can happen to anyone who is not careful. Be diligent, folks!

[antoinetteransom]

A red flag for is high pay like $60 an hour for data entry. Also do THOROUGH research on company verbiage. Example, scammers are copying and pasting real info from legit companies to their fake website.

[dianaf]

You are so thoughtful, intelligent and helpful to people everywhere. Thank you

[joancarter-thompson]

Definitely appreciate you taking the time to address the WFH security issues we're facing.

[djmizzou]

I am glad you posted this ❤. The schemes and scammers occur all the time now. I catch 1 or two per week and report them.

[nikkil]

Thank you for making more people aware of this Delilah.

[Apexremoteworklife]

This is a great video! My husband almost fell for the Whatsapp job scam. My youngest son was scammed with that check scam last year in November. WHAT A MESS!!😞

[dailypaytrishonline]

Thank for sharing!! I unfortunately fell for one just like you said!! It was a costly mistake!!

[UniquelyAshantesCorner]

Definitely can't remind people too much about these scammers out here. They are everywhere.
I have a question. You mentioned if a recruiter doesn't have LinkedIn, the job isn't real. Does this go for HR managers too? I came across a job posting and the company doesn't have a LinkedIn page and the HR manager doesn't have a LinkedIn page either. The HR manager claims that they've been around for 15 years....but I'm not sure how I feel about it.

[AmericanEagle]

Delilah I had scammer scammed me already thank you for these tips for online employment.

[preciouspamm]

Thanks so much for this video! It is a reminder to do our due diligence and not be desperate. I’ve never been scammed but I have been aware and noticed erroneous email addresses. As a practice I do go and very there company on the web or LinkedIn. Your BIGGEST TIP : you are not safe on any website so take precaution! And trust your gut!! Safe job hunting everyone! 🙏🏽😊

[donnawilliams]

I was a person who was scammed. I deposited the check in my account so I could buy equipments and my bank closed my account. Even though I gave them all our text messages, they didn't want to deal with it.

[Rhianauniversity]

Thanks for the info Delilah! I just want a WFH job that I actually like and that works with my college schedule lawddd. 😩😫

[pristinepersians]

The movie Beekeeper is exactly about this. Shows the entire network in action, how it's done etc. Jason Statham and The mom on Cosby show are the main characters. She gets scammed and he tears up a whole city again 😂

[lunadee]

I experience the same thing but I had a interview on MS Teams and after the whole interview was done by chat, I was told I was hired. Right there that was a major red flag. Then asked for my address and stated that they were going to send all the equipment that was needed to work with them but instead the next day I received a express ups envelope with a check of over $8000. So that confirmed even more of it being a scam. 😢All that time wasted when I was really in need of a job... be careful beware ❤

[Miesque]

I've almost been scammed twice so far. The first was a money launderer who wanted me to set up an ACH account and sent paper money to people (themselves, obviously) and do Bitcoin, etc. At the time I had never heard of job scams, and so I almost fell for it. So glad I caught on. The second one was laughably inept at scamming. But another red flag is they ask you to 'kindly' do something. If they have a thick Indian accent with a 'English' name--that's another, and when they call themselves 'Mrs' so-and-so. Chew them out for being thieving scammers and then block them. Or better yet, lead them on for as long as possible. Waste their time, so that at least they're not scamming someone else for a while. Drive them crazy, ruin their day and then merrily block them.

I get fake scammers posing as Recruiters all the time, its SAD! Thank God I know what to look for.
