Cruise Job Application: How the Scam Works
You are looking for a job on a cruise ship, figuring that if you don’t have to pay for living expenses, you’ll be able to save some money. You find a position and apply for it; and are contacted a few days later. Excited, you open the email. It says that there are a high number of applicants for the job, but if you want a chance to possibly start right away, you will have to wire them a registration fee and expense charge. If you pay the money, you may not get to go on the cruise but you certainly got taken for a ride.
How to avoid:
This scam can happen for a variety of jobs, but it occurs most often with cruise positions. Simply put, if the company asks you to wire money, it’s a good idea to move on and look for something else.
In the meantime, if you are really looking for a job and seek to make some money until you find the next ideal job, you can join Swagbucks.com, which is is the world’s largest free online rewards program. You get paid by doing things online which you might do anyway, such as searching the web, discover products, take surveys, watch videos, or play games. You can also get free iTunes and Amazon cards. The company has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. You can register for free HERE.
