Are works from home real?

Q: Are works from home for real?

A: Some work from home jobs are real.
Some others are not really jobs from home, but business opportunities.
Large chunk of these business opportunities are running as pyramid schemes.
Some other job postings are outright scam (for example: cashing fake checks / money laundering).
When PostJobFree moderators recognize outright scam -- we either delete such postings or mark them as scam. Unfortunately we cannot reliably identify all the scam. You have to make your own judgment.

No duplicate postings please

Job seekers perceive duplicate job postings as spam, because duplicates slow down job search.

Yesterday PostJobFree.com started to check if new job posting has same or similar postings made by the same recruiter. If new posting is a duplicate -- such posting is rejected.
That feature helps to decrease number of duplicate postings in PostJobFree.com database.

Fighting scam

Q: What is scam?

A: Scam -- a fraudulent business scheme.
Scammers not just rob us from money, they also take away our confidence and trust in people.

Q: Why does PostJobFree mark job posting as scam instead of deleting it?

A: We delete scam postings, but we keep some available (and clearly marked as scam) so job seekers could learn how scam postings look like.
Because PostJobFree.com is free and so easy to post -- it's impossible totally eliminate scam postings. That's why it's important to job seekers to be able to recognize scam postings even if that postings are not marked as scam yet.

We understand, that too much scam postings look more like annoying spam than danger. That's why we delete most of scam postings, but still keep some, so job seekers would be able to recognize the variety of currently active scam schemes.


Please, let us know what else can we do about scam postings.
