Rant: That "data entry" job that wanted me to pay $50 for a background check
I answered a listing on Indeed last week for a remote data entry gig paying $35 an hour. The email back said I just needed a quick background check through their link, but it cost $50 upfront. Found out later the company name in the email didn't match the one on the Better Business Bureau. Has anyone else seen this exact trick with the fake background check fee?

Yeah that's definitely a scam, sorry you had to deal with that.

And it's not just obvious scams like this. The whole system feels rigged now. Everything has some catch or hidden fee buried in the fine print. You can't just trust a random link or a phone call anymore. It's like we've all had to become part-time detectives just to buy something or get help. Exhausting is what it is.
