How to spot a scam before you apply

Before you apply to any remote role, ask yourself:

Does the posting promise "unlimited earning potential"? Skip it. Does it ask you to pay anything upfront? Run. Is the company name vague and the website sparse? Move on. Did they contact you with an offer you never applied for? Delete it.
