Damn! Thanks for sharing. I literally just got an “acceptance “ letter from them after recently applying. Thanks for suffering through so we don’t have too!

@gbngcobo Год назад

I also received an "acceptance" letter as well just now. I was uncomfortable with sharing my banking details to register for PayPal, so I think I'm not going to proceed with the application.

@mustangmolls Год назад

I got the same email, when after registration they take to my PAYPAL I was like WTF? Scammers

@theozarksjourneytoself-suf5420 11 месяцев назад

I just got that letter. :( I was so hopeful. Until Now.

@theozarksjourneytoself-suf5420 11 месяцев назад

@@mustangmolls Did you get any charges? I just signed up, but signed up for the FREE choice. I didn't sign up for any membership.

@jullietmburu9672 11 месяцев назад

@@theozarksjourneytoself-suf5420 you will be billed. The idea is that, you sign up for the "free" month, which is billed after 30 days, then it becomes recurrent. Once you connect PayPal, that's it. Disconnect all your cards from that PayPal account, because you will be billed monthly, and the "cancel" process is a scam. Even when i was a "member" they never posted any jobs, and never responded for the ones I'd applied. What you pay for can be accessed for free on other platforms. I only got a recommendation letter (after doing a test article to "qualify"). I have a feeling that recommendation letter has cost me a few employment opportunities..

@tinaheron1057 Год назад

This organisation is all over LinkedIn right now. Thank you for sharing your experience - I too received an acceptance email recently and was confused when they asked for my banking / PayPal info. I did not sign up and now I'm extremely relieved that I didn't.

@sereen. Год назад

It's extremely discouraging to find the following: - fake remote work offers - fake on site work offers - job hunt platforms where you pay to see and apply for offers... and they could still be a scam. Thank you for sharing. This makes people suffer for real.

@Anusha-fv8tz Год назад

how do we know these offers are fake? i got an acceptance email from them and i'm finding mixed reviews online

@jullietmburu9672 11 месяцев назад

@@Anusha-fv8tz i was also accepted.. i signed up for the free trial, but i couldn't cancel. no one answered any email... Thank God it was a new PayPal acc, so wasn't connected to my bank or cards, so they've racked up a bill on that acc. They do not offer jobs... Even when i applied to the tasks there was no response. Most of the time, they didn't have any tasks yet i had signed up. I'm so disappointed... Anyways we live and learn.

I just received the same email from the same person and immediately had a bad gut feeling, because who goes around offering job opps without even talking about the conditions? 😅 This vid confirms my suspicions. Thanks for making it!!

@ssw2023 Год назад

Thanks for this! Their job posts are all over LinkedIn but upon closer inspection, the "hiring team" for each job links to somebody with completely unrelated experience (there was even a pharmacist) and based on an entirely different continent. Very dodgy indeed.

@debbiescott6081 Год назад

I also applied on Linkedin and after a couple of months just received an email that set off an immediate alert as not quite professional. Thankfully I decided to do a check before signing up. Thank you for sharing your experience, Zulie!

@jennifermakiOnTheWay Год назад

Thank you for this. I’m a professional writer and thought I’d expand my base of clients. Got the ‘acceptance’ email and their sketchy wording made me dig deeper into the legit nature of this.

I responded, "And acceptance is the answer to all my problems today. When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing, or situation - some face of my life - unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment. Nothing, absolutely nothing, happens in God’s world by mistake."

i have noticed with likeden jobs- you need to go to the source and not use linkedin, seems like they are a promo hub but their application process goes to the employers junk mail and supplies a rejection letter - that is what i have found

@Teyxo Год назад

Thank you so much for this video! I've received last night an email of acceptance. I honestly forgot I did apply to this, as almost 2 months passed. The email was from IAPWE, seemed very legit so I registered both on their website and they Freelance portal. They offered now a Basic Free membership, so I logged in with PayPal and didn't pay anything on the spot. However, when I checked my memberships there was an upcoming fee of $5 (don't know when, next month?) I canceled right away and I didn't encounter any issues. Now, my bad I didn't Google them before registering :D but I am very hesitant to send them any content as they will probably not pay, so thank you for this video. Sorry you went through this. We should make our own platform as writers and let the clients come to us! 🤩🤩🤩

Thank you for the review. Highly useful. I received an email earlier this week that is exactly as you describe. I had submitted an application about two months ago through a separate job board, I don't know if the recent email was connected with that or simply random. The email looks legit (It doesn't have obvious red flags I've encountered in other scam/phish job-search correspondence. But when I got to the registration screen through the link, I decided to do general web search for IAPWE - it returned mostly negative feedback.

@lynetteadams7415 9 месяцев назад

Found you because I just received one of these emails. I don't remember applying to them at all I've seen so many of their ads on LinkedIn I assumed it was sketchy. The big red flag on my email was the time pressure intended to create a sense of urgency: "The opening for the current enrollment period will close by the end of this week. Our last enrollment period was approximately 10 months ago and we do not know when the next open enrollment period will be."

@alissonoliveira1816 Год назад

Thank you for your video, I'm from Brazil and they put this "job" on LinkedIn for others countries, as always I made a research and found your video, I already suspected that is a scam, first the descrition is totally in English and don't said if we should write in Portuguese or what level of English we should have, second the payment is insane, dollar values so much than real (our money) and if that was true I would be rich in a week, third in the LinkedIn page shows only 2-10 employeers and that is quite low for a "International Association".
