Inside the Shadowy Scheme: How Nigerian Scammers Masquerade as WritersWeekly to Defraud Translators and Writers
I honestly can’t BELIEVE how many people fall for this type of scam!!! You NEVER have to pay money first in order to get paid for completed work later. I recently watched a video by a woman who got a “job” online. She worked full-time on her computer and, when payday came around, she was told that she needed to wire $1,000 to the business first (to “verify her account”), and that they’d immediately refund that, and pay her for the work she did. She actually sent them the money!!! And, of course, she never got it back, nor did she get paid for her work.
