Safety and scamsBeginner
Fake job offers
Job offers that promise easy pay for simple online tasks, like rating products, and later ask you to deposit crypto.
- What it means
- The first tasks pay small amounts to build trust; then a "special task" or a negative balance means you must deposit crypto to continue or to "unlock" earnings that are never paid out.
- What to watch
- Unasked job messages with high pay for little work, task sites you never heard of, and any request to pay a deposit, fee or tax before you can withdraw.
- How Compass-Alpha uses it
- Background only; not used in any figure on Compass-Alpha.
