I was contacted by someone on Telegram with a part-time job opportunity at Profiletree, a freelance company. All that's needed is a phone and an hour to complete the job remotely, at any time or place. The job involves optimizing app data on the Profiletree platform, where merchants pay a commission to improve their visibility. By clicking to optimize the automatically generated data, I can earn a commission. The base salary is $5200 for working one week ($700), two weeks ($1500), or a month ($3000), with commissions paid on the same day. There is a requirement to complete 2 sets of tasks totaling 80 orders every day. Commissions can be withdrawn on the same day, and the basic pay is based on the working day. It seems too good to be true, so I'm seeking insights or experiences to ensure it's not a scam. Thank you.
It’s highly likely that this Profiletree job offer is a scam. The signs are classic:
- Extremely high pay for minimal work: The promised salary of $5200 for a week’s work, with the ability to withdraw earnings daily, is unrealistic and unsustainable for any legitimate company.
- Lack of transparency: The job description is vague and doesn’t specify the nature of the “optimizing app data” tasks. This lack of clarity is a red flag.
- Pressure to complete tasks quickly: The requirement to complete 80 orders daily suggests a high-pressure environment designed to exploit workers.
Legitimate work-from-home opportunities often require skills, experience, and training. They also have transparent pay structures and processes for withdrawing earnings. Be cautious of any job offer that seems too good to be true, especially when it involves fast money and little effort.
