NO JOB PAYS IN CASHIERS CHECKS/MONEY ORDER! Do not take cashiers check offers for ANYTHING. Your bank in most cases will KNOW. But sometimes, they cannot even tell. You will have NO recourse and your bank will come after YOU if it bounces and they will not care that you are a victim of a scam. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT take cashiers checks, or even checks for an online transaction. CASH ONLY. If you see a post on my site that has to do with a scam, post the ad ID on the forum immediately and I will do my best to remove them from the site. Also, FLAG THEM! If you fall for this after reading this, then you are at fault and can blame NO ONE but yourself!

ANOTHER RULE: If you cannot shake their hands, there is likely no real job!

SCAM ALERT - affiliate scammers are posting bogus ads promising (nonexistent!) employment, paid research trials, or other compensation, but then notifying repliers that they'll need to jump through a hoop first, directing them to:

• background checking services
• credit checking or reporting sites
• sites where you are instructed to enter your resume or other personal information
• sites where you are asked to sign up for a "free" trial offer
• sites offering training or education
• sites offering a "system" for making money
• survey or focus group sites
• sites designed to deliver malware or misuse your identifying information

all in hopes of earning affiliate marketing commissions or otherwise profiting at the expense of persons seeking employment.

Lots of variations on this scam, but each generally involves dangling (nonexistent!) compensation, and then directing you to a website where you are asked to sign up for something, use your credit card, or input personal information such as your email address.
