10 MOST OVERPAID JOBS (BY CBS MARKETWATCH)

Beware of phony online job scams
A warning about phony companies claiming to have great work-at-home jobs for you.  “Lucrative” jobs doing part-time survey work and other odd jobs for an upfront fee  are scams from people who will simply take your money and run. Wall Street Journal focused on how people are being conned out of huge sums of money by becoming a “financial intermediary.” One woman saw an ad on Monster.com from a German company that was looking for someone in the U.S. who could process payments for them, working from home and would earn lots of money. Checking out the company with the Better Business Bureau and finding that everything looked above board,  she faxed a contract to the company and got a check within a week for just under $10,000. She deposited the check in her account and then wired a payment back to them minus her “fee” for the job. A few days later, she found out the check was a fake and she was out $10,000. Monster.com  realized the company was a fake and has removed the ad. You need to be your own watchdog on these con games. They are all over the online job boards. The creeps seek you out on these site. They see your post and contact you with information about a great job then get all of your information under the guise of hiring you... and they clean you out.
