Hey friend,

I hope your week’s going well. Whether you’re actively job hunting or just keeping an eye out for better opportunities, I’ve got something important for you today: how to spot scam remote job postings before they waste your time. And as always, I’ve included a fresh batch of vetted remote jobs you can apply to with confidence.

1. The pay seems too good to be true
If a role promises huge pay for little work, it’s probably a scam. Real companies list salaries that align with the market.

2. The job description is vague or generic
Scam posts are often copy-pasted with little detail. A legit posting should make it clear what you’ll actually do.

3. They ask for money up front
No real employer will charge you for training, software, or equipment before you start. That’s an immediate dealbreaker.

4. Communication feels off
Watch out for Gmail/Hotmail addresses or recruiters dodging questions. Professional companies use professional communication.

5. The company has no online footprint
If you can’t find a website, LinkedIn page, or real employees, that’s a strong sign it’s not legit. Always do a quick check before applying.

👉 That’s why every job on RemoteFront is vetted from 6,000+ companies — no scams, no spam, no noise.
