Spot a scam.
And avoid it like a plague.
I'm gullible, I admit. I just spent an acknowledgeable chunk of my day writing an article for pennies. I never once had a face-to-face conversation with an editor or representative--I wrote about walnut hardwood floors after an E-mail promised to pay me a few dollars for my written words.
"You must be able to sense these scams," Justin said. "People will take advantage of you. The world will take advantage of you."
Thank you, RedZone International. Thank you, The Content Authority. Thank you, Citi Financial. Thank you for teaching me that I am easily duped by my hope of earning a non-discretionary income.
Desperation kills judgment, that's for sure.
