How do you tell legit remote jobs from scams?
Hey everyone,
I’ve been browsing job offers lately (mostly online/remote stuff), and honestly… a lot of them feel sketchy.
Some ask you to go through “training” before you even know if the job is real, others just send affiliate links, invite you to Telegram groups, or redirect you to random platforms that don’t look trustworthy at all.
At this point, I’m not sure what’s actually worth my time and what’s just a scam or a waste of effort.
For those of you who’ve managed to find legit opportunities:
- What kind of jobs did you end up getting?
- How did you filter out the scams?
- Are there any clear red flags I should watch for?
Also, if anyone knows (or has) a list of the most common job scam types that keep showing up, I’d really appreciate it. I feel like recognizing patterns would make it way easier to avoid wasting time on the same traps over and over.
And if there isn’t really a list like that, feel free to share your personal experiences here. I’m trying to gather info and patterns from different subreddits to build a kind of compilation and get a better overall perspective on this.
Would really appreciate any advice or experiences
