Online Job Scams:
Job seekers who use online job search web sites must be careful to avoid a type of job scam.
Online job scams involve a con artist who pretends to be an employer.

Such con artists can be quite convincing, and may even use company names and corporate logos to convince victims that they are legitimate employers.
There are many variations of online job scams. Following is very simple tip that will go far to protect you from falling victim. Again, this scam can be quite clever and refined.

Bill Gates in Heaven.
Bill Gates passes away and goes up to heaven where he is met by God.
Well, Bill," said God, "I'm really confused on this one. I'm not sure
whether to send you to Heaven or Hell. After all, you enormously
helped society by putting a computer in almost every home in the
world, and yet you created that ghastly Windows.
"I'm going to do something I've never done before. I'm going to let
you decide where you want to go."
Bill replied, "Well thanks, God. What's the difference between the two?"
God said, "You take a peek at both places briefly if it will help you
decide. Shall we look at Hell first?"
"Sure" said Bill, "Let's go!"
Bill was amazed! He saw a clean, white sandy beach with clear waters.
There were thousands of beautiful men and women running around,
playing in the water, laughing and frolicking about. The sun was
shining and the temperature was perfect. "This is great!" said Bill.
"If this is Hell, I can't wait to see heaven."
God replied, "Let's go!" and so off they went to Heaven. Bill saw
puffy white clouds in a beautiful blue sky with angels drifting about
playing harps and singing. It was nice, but surely not as enticing as
Hell.
Bill Gates thought for only a brief moment and rendered his decision.
God, I do believe I would like to go to Hell."
As you desire," said God.
Two weeks later, God decided to check up on the late billionaire to
see how things were going. He found Bill Gates shackled to a wall,
screaming amongst the hot flames in a dark cave. He was being burned
and tortured by demons.
How ya doin', Bill?" asked God.
Bill responded with anguish and despair, "This is awful! This is not
what I expected at all! What happened to the beach and the beautiful
women playing in the water?"
"Oh THAT?!" said God. "That was the Screen Saver."

Unemployment..
Being unemployed is bad enough. But job seekers have a new worry: falling victim to criminals and con artists prowling Internet job-posting services.
Online recruiting sites such as Friendster and other free job sites have grown from job-posting boards into Web sites hosting millions of résumés and thousands of jobs. Unfortunately, crooks have also discovered online recruiting, and they’ve been busily devising new schemes to exploit job seekers.
Most scams take one of two forms: either a fraudulent offer of placement assistance or identity theft by someone posing as an employer to gain a job applicant’s personal data.Swindlers are using the Internet to target millions.

Fraudulent Jobs....
One of the most prevalent scams is a cyber-twist on an old con: the fraudulent job-placement scheme. Job hunters who have publicly posted their résumés receive spam e-mail touting phony employment opportunities. The object is to get the victim to pay a big fee, sometimes thousands of pesos, for job-placement assistance. But the "job openings," often business positions, are nonexistent or can be viewed free in classified ads or online job boards.
Business-opportunity pitches are often illegal pyramid schemes, complete fiction, or thinly disguised multilevel-marketing programs requiring job hunters to buy something. Among the most common "opportunities": direct hiring,or "qualified" applicants will start immediately.

Sharp mind ......
Many years ago in a small village,
A farmer had the misfortune
Of owing a large sum of money to a village moneylender. The
Moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer's beautiful
Daughter. So he proposed a bargain.
He said he would forgo the farmer's debt if he could marry his
Daughter. Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the
Proposal.
So the cunning money-lender suggested that they let
Providence decide the matter. He told them that he would put a black
Pebble and a white pebble into an empty money bag. Then the girl would
Have to pick one pebble from the bag.
1) If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her
father's debt would be forgiven.
2) If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her
father's debt would still be forgiven.
3) But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into
Jail.
They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer's field. As
They talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. As he
Picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two
Black pebbles and put them into the bag.
He then asked the girl to pick
A pebble from the bag.
Now, imagine that you were standing in the field. What would you have
Done if you were the girl? If you had to advise her, what would you
Have told her?
Careful analysis would produce three possibilities:
1. The girl should refuse to take a pebble.
2. The girl should show that there were two black pebbles in the bag
And expose the money-lender as a cheat.
3. The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order
To save her father from his debt and imprisonment.
Take a moment to ponder over the story. The above story is used with
The hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between lateral
And logical thinking.
The girl's dilemma cannot be solved with
Traditional logical thinking. Think of the consequences if she chooses
The above logical answers.
What would you recommend to the Girl to do?
Well, here is what she did ....
The girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without
Looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path
Where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles.
"Oh, how clumsy of me," she said. "But never mind, if you look into the
Bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I
Picked."
Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had
Picked the white one. And since the money-lender dared not admit his
Dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into
An extremely advantageous one.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
Most complex problems do have a solution. It is only that we don't
Attempt to think.
Common Frauds
It can be expensive to be unaware of the most common internet fraud activities.
Job offer scam
Fraudsters send unsolicited emails, put job offers on legitimate internet recruitment sites, or internet chat rooms, looking to recruit job applicants.
Remain vigilant, remember if it sounds like money for nothing, its almost certainly bogus. You should also check for grammatical and spelling errors within the emails or any correspondence received, the fraudsters often miss out key words, or use unusual salutations.

Who will pay me?
Legitimate employers should be willing and able to answer a variety of questions about their programs. Here are some questions this poster suggests you ask:
* What tasks will I have to perform? (Ask the "employer" to list every step of the job.)
* Will I be paid a salary, or will my pay be based on commission?(OR WILL I BE THE ONE TO PAY YOU?)
* Who will pay me?
* When will I get my first paycheck?
Finally, if the "employer" passes all these tests but you still feel a bit queasy about the offer, trust your gut and run the other way.

Where the Scams Are
Job seekers would be wise to remember the expression, "dirty money always seeks the path of least resistance," as they conduct their searches in cyberspace, a low-friction employment and personal information marketplace.
Where the Scams Are
Job seekers must be familiar with the Internet media scammers most frequently use to snare accomplices and victims. Some scam pitches appear as job-board postings. Other scammers send their intended victims an unsolicited, often grammatically wobbly email.Sometimes scammers use a technique called spoofing. This scam can make an email containing a link to a fraudulent posting look like it comes from a well-known job site.

Whether you're looking for that first job, been unemployed or just want to trade up, job hunting can be extremely stressful. But job seekers now have an added worry: wondering whether that job posting is fake or whether any personal information they give out will be exploited.
Online job boards have taken off in recent years.
That has created big opportunities for con artists to prey on applicants, some desperate to find anything.
These scam artists work in two different ways: They either place a fraudulent job listing on a site.There are tons of jobs out there, and they all sound so legitimate.
And if you are looking for a job, you don't think there is going to be fraudulent companies advertising on reputable sites.
But job seekers also need to do their part by being cautious about who they contact and what type of personal information they give out, even when using established sites.

Haven't we heard all this before?
You may well have heard of the string of "TEKTITE"-based cons that almost anyone with a Friendster account is likely to have seen.
Everyone thinks they know there's no such thing as a free lunch.
But con artists trade on the fact that that there's always a proportion of people who think that they alone can spot the one genuine opportunity among the millions of rip-offs.
The methods used by these tricksters can be very convincing to unsuspecting consumers.
So what can you do to avoid it?
The simple answer remains the same with all internet scams.
If it sounds like money for nothing, it's almost certainly bogus.
