My coworker recently told me he moonlights doing an online job while working our normal job. I asked him what he does and he said that it’s hard to explain but there’s a powerpoint that explains when i get hired. He said it’s all legal and we get paid $10 an hour and pay goes out every week. He showed me he’s made an extra $250 this week on an excel spreadsheet. I think it sounds like a great opportunity/s

Anyway what flavor of scam do you think this guy is part of? I’m thinking mlm because he’s trying to bring others into the fold, but I heard him tell someone else theres a fee to join, and that screams pyramid scheme.

    If he has to explain that it’s legal, and refuses to tell you what it is until you get hired, it’s a scam. Probably an MLM he got sucked into.

      I’d like to point out that you left out the fee to join, because that’s the smallest red flag of all these flags.

      I feel like the $10/hr is to make it not sound like bullshit.
