Amazon Jobs From Home: The Newest Scam

Watch out for a plethora of fake Amazon jobs from home that have been inundated the employment boards. There is no secret that, in general, the Amazon scams have been perpetrating the most, but this type of fraud (job scams, that is) has been making millions of victims worldwide.

Why are the “Amazon-work-from-home scams” proliferating so much? Let's take a look.

Since Amazon became the world's largest internet company by revenue, its number reached an impressive number: 1,500,000 as of May 2023! That is more than 90% from last year. There is no surprise that the company now has its own recruitment department who works daily with thousands of prospective staff members.

However, overnight success and the wide-range of job opportunities created a perfect scenario for scammers to hit again. The latest con, as mentioned, is the Amazon-jobs-from-home approach. How does it work?

Watch the video below to see the Amazon Job Application Scam exposed:

Similar to the Craft Assembly or the Marketing Kit scams, the Amazon Jobs From Home trick leads you to believe that a dream job with the company is available starting next month. The scammers promise a very tempting income, such as a salary of $20/hour with the possibility of making $6,000/month.

In order to get the job, you are encouraged indeed to apply. Once the “Amazon job application is processed” you are informed that you've got the position and congratulated. However, to start the job, you need to purchase an enrolment kit worth $200.

Many victims fall for the Amazon Job Scam once the criminal get their trust. Don't be one of them.

Amazon Work From Home Scams: How To Avoid

As a rule of thumb, do not send any money for any wonder money-making opportunities online, especially for the Amazon work from home scams. You should not be paying a job that is supposed to pay you. Look very careful at the email address they provide; is it something coming from Amazon (look at the domain name – amazon.com) or are there any numbers or any other extra letters within it (e.g. – [email protected])?

If you want to make money online, always rely on the most reputable sources. Do your research and work only for legitimate employers. Type their names in the search engine and add the word ‘scam' after. You would be surprised at what happens.

Last but not least, beware of other fake employment jobs during this month such as the Administrative Assistant Job, Regional Sales Representative,  Walmart Job Opportunity, Best Jobs on Hold, and the fake Car Wrap Job.

I sent my Mac computer to a company in California that claimed to be part of Apple we buy Mac.com I paid 100 for boxing and shipping the computer to the company they offered me 1200 and I never received any money this happened in the spring of 2022 how do I get this situation handled they literally stole my computer and I paid for them to do it ! I’m so sick of ppl stealing my money Hello Fresh stole from me and they are a legit company, but scammers got my order, took my money, and I never received anything from Hell fresh. I had to go through the bank to dispute it. They wouldn’t wanna give me a refund and said that I never placed an order and I had to charge it on my card so things like that happen a lot It’s crazy how our government allows other countries to be able to steal from us like that and scam us like that. Something needs to be done about this, but I would really like to know how to solve that situation with webuyimac.com it’s no telling how many times I’ve ordered stuff off-line and been charged for it and never received it or pay shipping for item. That’s bogus and get charged and cancel and still get charge on my card for like a year for the item and even cancel the card and they still charge you man this mess is crazy
