You know it was a clickbait but you still tried to click it and know the details?

I joined a lot of Facebook pages where I thought I can get news about available part-time jobs. Sadly, most of them are not a "JOB" but an "ONLINE PLATFORM THAT WILL GIVE ME OPPORTUNITY TO EARN ONLINE" I think they are using the word "JOB" as a clickbait so that a lot of people will engage in the post and ask how to apply then they will message you directly and they will say that it is not a job but an online platform... Have you experienced this? You know it was a clickbait but you still tried to click it and know the details? Hahaha. I am just curious.

I was also victimized by them and when they started asking for money I stopped already. I think if they are offering jobs they should not ask for money from their applicants.

My niece joined something called encoder. We have not heard from them anymore after paying some amount of money.

No, I haven't seen things like that. I stay as far away from anything Fakebook as I can get. There are a lot of real online jobs people in the US can do online but few of them are available to people from other countries. (One Filipino friend used a VPN service to fool some places online into believing he actually lived in the US when he was applying for and working some of the jobs... but kept getting caught after a few weeks or months of work. I wouldn't recommend trying that. It's possible you wouldn't get caught, but...)

I have never used Facebook to seek a job. In fact I am not much active on Facebook or any social media platforms. We have authentic job sites and it would be better to seek jobs there.
