Maya was scrolling through social media when she saw an ad: âEasy Part-Time Job â” Earn $200 a day from home.â Curious, she contacted the recruiter on Telegram. They told her the job was simpleâ”just complete small online tasks and she would get paid. At first, Maya earned a few small payments, which made the job seem real. Then the recruiter said she needed to âupgrade her accountâ by sending $100 to unlock higher-paying tasks. After she sent the money, they asked for another payment to ârelease her profits.â Soon the messages stopped and the recruiter disappeared. Maya realized it was a scam. The small payments at the beginning were only meant to build trust before taking a larger amount. Lesson: Real employers never ask workers to pay money to get paid. Always verify
