According to Better Business Bureau estimated 14 million people are exposed to false job ads annually. This is a technique that data brokers use to get your personal information. Data Brookers are individuals or companies that sells your personal information to third parties. In this blog, I am going over a couple ways you avoid work from home job scams.

If you receive an email saying that you a perfect fit with their company but you haven’t apply for any job. Especially they are full of questionable promises and offering outrageous pay which is too high for that job.

If you see a job ad have a lot of spelling and punction errors, then that is a good indication it’s a scam. Sometime scammers will try to create a mock up of a business email to try to trick people into giving their personal information to sell it online.

Sometime scammers will make fake profiles on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn and act like job recruiters. If you ever have a doubt about these job recruiters, you should use LinkedIn to look up these people and make sure that they are legit.
