BBB sees rise in Pay-to-Tweet scams
A warning to all you job hunters out there: The Better Business Bureau reports a spike in the work at home, get-rich-quick schemes being offered through the social-networking site Twitter.
The scams are similar to the classic Web and e-mail offers. Sites claim you can make loads of money, with little effort, and no experience, as long as you pay for an informative CD—as featured on the fill-in-the-blank nationally syndicated television show—that will reveal the mystery of making thousands of dollars a month.
According to the BBB, the purported offers being posted by companies on Twitter promise to pay users hundreds of dollars a day to be professional “Tweeters”—the name for a person who uses Twitter. “‘Make Money With Twitter’ schemes may sound risk-free but bear many red flags,” according to the BBB.
