I completely forgot to make my usual work from home Wednesday post yesterday… things were a bit hectic with work.

Have you ever been prey to an online scam? You know, the ones who ask for $35.95 and in no time you’ll be earning thousands of dollars? How about the ones who ask you to pay for some material to be able to get a job with them?

At Genuinejobs.com we often get emails from jobseekers who were burned by these scams. Not just one or two times, we recently spoke to someone who lost out 4 times.

Here’s a little tip (besides never paying for a job since no employer will ask you to pay them for you to work for them) if you ever use your credit card to pay for something (product or service) you never receive, simply contact your credit card company and tell them you’d like to do a charge back. You’ll be required to complete a short form detailing what was purchased and when / if you got it or not… basically your reason for requesting the chargeback.

They will do an investigation and in most cases you’ll get the amount you got scammed, credited back to your credit card.

Don’t let these bastards get away with your money.
