Chandler Hill Partners Blogs - - Scam--warning involving Twitter and job hunting

Through Tweets, e-mail and websites, job hunters are being told that they can make lots of money from the comfort of home using Twitter but the Better Business Bureau warns that the large print for such offers may promise big returns while the fine print can cost them every month.

Currently 14.7 million Americans are out of work and looking for a way to bring home a paycheck. Work-at-home schemes have often preyed on unsuspecting job hunters and now Twitter is being used as a way to convince cash-strapped individuals that they can make quick and easy money. Many of these schemes ask for money up front which is a big red flag. Some even link you to a bogus website that can install viruses or malware onto your computer.

Also be wary of sites with spelling and grammar errors. "Twitter is the newest bright shiny object online and a perfect hook for yet another work-at-home scheme," said Steve Cox, BBB spokesperson. "The pitch used to be about making money by sending e-mails or by placing ads on Google but now cash-strapped job hunters need to be wary of shelling out.
