- β Promise "$5,000/week working 2 hours per day"
- β Interview you via text message only (no video or phone call)
- β Require you to buy products to resell
- β Send job offers without an interview
All companies on this list are verified legitimate employers. Read our full guide: How to Spot Remote Job Scams
