Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, thousands have been looking for WFH opportunities, creating the perfect environment for scammers to cash in. Work-from-home job scams usually sound too good to be true, with exceptional pay and/or benefits. Another scam warning is when you’re offered a job even though you lack the qualifications needed to perform the work.

Here are 5 key tips to ensure you never fall for a #workfromhome scam:

1. Scammers ask for personal information and/or financial information right away
2. Scammers promise quick earning potential
3. Scammers promise great pay for minimal work and their offer is too good to be true
4. You can’t find any information about the company online
5. Scammers want money from you to secure the job
