Should i take my coworker up on his job offer?
My coworker recently told me he moonlights doing an online job while working our normal job. I asked him what he does and he said that it's hard to explain but there's a powerpoint that explains when i get hired. He said it's all legal and we get paid $10 an hour and pay goes out every week. He showed me he's made an extra $250 this week on an excel spreadsheet. I think it sounds like a great opportunity/s
Anyway what flavor of scam do you think this guy is part of? I'm thinking mlm because he's trying to bring others into the fold, but I heard him tell someone else theres a fee to join, and that screams pyramid scheme.
You're viewing a single thread.
Whyy don't you try and explain what it is?
Some negative people in here but I've hired several of my former colleagues to work nights and weekends for me. I pay much better than their current roles .
Because OP's coworker refuses to explain what it actually is until he's on it. If a job can't be explained to you properly and will only be once you sign up, that's a huge red flag.
Well I asked them so I'll wait continue benefit of charity.
I've hired people to answer phones, label data, do advanced ml, all kinds of stuff. Its a job. And I use slide decks to present to them about what we do.

Yes, but did you not tell them what those tasks are even just in general terms before you hired them? OP's coworker can't even show him the powerpoint until after he's "hired". Giving the benefit of the doubt that the deck might have proprietary information so contracts need to be signed first, the point still stands that OP should at least be given a general idea of what the job entails and what tasks are involved before they sign up.
My read is that this might be a lack of comprehension on the part of OP not the person offering to pay. So I asked them to try and explain it better.
I don't have any more info to add. Well I'm pretty sure the "business" is located in india
I would check it out further. My guess is its simple data labeling. There are many shops in India that do this kind of work.
