If you are looking for online jobs so beware of online jobs. Because there are many online jobs are available on net. But mostly of them are frauds. And they are cheating you if you pay a big amount for getting online jobs. Because I have one friend who was cheated by some online jobs site. He was offered a job by online job portal. And that job was data entry job. They asked him to pay $50 if he wants this job. He paid this amount online but after that he was shocked because they don’t provide him username and password for starting online work. So after that I have also don’t trust on these types of online works.

There's an adage I always adhere to. "If it sounds too good to be true, then it's probably isn't true." I know there are legitimate sites which promises good earning potentials, but these are a dime a dozen. The problem with online jobs is that you can't really validate or check on it's legitimacy. One has to be scammed first before one realizes the site's a fake or the promises made weren't true. The sadder part is we don't know whom to report this to, and who would go after these scammers. I guess the best thing to do is to really research on a site before putting money into it. Although it's not a guarantee that we won't get scammed, we however would minimize such event from happening.

That's a very sound advice. When I was just a novice in online work, I only looked for those not requiring people to invest. Although starters could also consult the "veterans" so that they could gain some useful insight regarding online jobs with investments.

for beginner, it`s the difficult for distinguish which one is good site and which one is fake site.. maybe mylot can be the good site for informing many newcomer or beginner about that..with many people which have activities in online business, of course some of mylot member maybe have information about which one is good site and which one is bad site

Such a site asking you for money should have rang some bells already. It is quite obvious. Another thing is that your friend shouldn't have trusted much without researching the company he will be working for. Don't be gullible and always be critical when dealing with online entities.
