Unemployment among young people in Kenya and world at large is the most irritating thing to know considering in mind that these are the most productive creatures in lifetime. Due this alarming state many of the young people take a move to consistently disrupt their devices looking for employment beyond their immediate environment, and online in this case. You just launch that browser in your device and type online jobs and the results you get keeps you wondering how comes there exists millions of online jobs, whereas you have been idling all along your life. When you follow site by site, things starts becoming harder then they seem to be being described. Some of the sites are fair while others are the most devastating scams someone may think about ever. I know you may be passing over a variety of site with their reviews of either a scam or a legit but may you ignore , you at times find yourself regretting the step you took later in life. I remember sometimes ago when I found a site on social media that paid people to do very simple things online. I decided to join an even risk further to pay a certain subscription fees. Lucky enough my money came back within less than month, I continued working simply but as their members became bigger, the admins started giving out payment restrictions, where for you to be paid you had to give out your scanned identity card, give your bank detail but that was not the case when you pay in their site.

To them incoming transactions were simple and easy but outgoing transactions (employees payments) were as hard as robbing off state house. That meant that employees had to work, newbies continue joining and subscribing but when your money hit

the payment threshold, the frustrations began. You keep login in, found a huge figure money, smile that you are rich, screen shot to boast to your friends but never get your due. Anytime you tried to withdraw, the system shocked you by replying about your inauthenticity to carry out the transaction. At time you decided to consult the contacts given on their website, never could you hear even a voicemail message. The contacts were ever out of service and the Facebook pages they pretended to manage were managed by fake users with temporary blogs. One morning, the members were left when they found a message indicating that the sites pay bill were suspended and no more transaction could occur. The message lasted for minutes, hours, and days forever. All the collected money approximately 2 trillion Kenyan money was scooped in a matter of a simple click. That is what a scam is described, a site that is online to entice users join with a hidden target of money. Immediately the goal is achieved, the site disappears and leaves many disappointed unable to know what to begin with next.

Scams are getting rich quick programs. They pay their employees huge salaries for doing almost nothing. When you fall in their trap, you inform your friends, the pyramid continues and when they gain what they were after; your pyramid collapses with a thud. You need to analyze such sites an immediately close turn down the temptations to save your chat mates.

No physical address. Like the story I shared, the site claimed to be an advertising company but the locations they used to share were nowhere even in the most hidden maps of the world. Imagine you work for someone who you don’t know where you can get him when issues arise. Avoid such site not unless you first identify the offices where the company or site operates from.

Inconsistent payment schemes. Scams usually change their payment threshold, method and even the time of withdrawal almost every day. They do this to defend their money stores that is to filter withdraws in a way that even if the employees are paid, their accounts will still be ‘heavy’. When you come across such site and you have already joined, to more existence paid the subscription fee, work with you knee ever bending to beg God help you get your money back. Immediately your prayers are answered, keep your friends off to shutter their conning dreams. A legit site like Kenyaplex have a consistent payment measure for a long time.

Sweet and accomplishable promises. If I get back to my experience, I remember how every time I logged in, I ever found a message how the so called company was planning to launch jackpots, donation programs, blogger partnerships which remain a new promise on top of un attempted ones. The reason why they do this is to make those who are in doubt of the sites doomed future delete and create a long time confidence to the newbies yet to subscribe.

It is very painful to wake up every day before dawn, prepare thoroughly, go to work, add even more effort, and repeat the same procedure round for a month only to get no salary at the end. Likewise, waking up loading your device with data bundles every day to work for a site that will never pay you. Take keen of every site you come across by avoiding new sites that does not have a payment proof for the past one year. Make sure the site you join has a long experience online and the payment proofs are not computer generated. With the above and your intelligence, we can help our desperate youths who end up being conned in pretext of job search. You will convince yourself that no risk no gain but you may not understand what I mean today but shed tears tomorrow because of your relative. We don’t risk for something we can’t own for your information and if you feel like to risk, do it for something that will affect you but save others.
