* Loss of money: It may be only the initial fee to join, say $10, $20, or even $30, or more, for example. Or it
may be a lot more. Some scammers will run after receiving just this fee. Others will continue to ask for more in
order for the promise of high pay to be fulfilled. Some will act on a two-way street, actually issuing paychecks,
all the while receiving payments of greater value in return, which in some cases may exceed tens of thousands of
dollars. Yet in other cases, the employer may obtain the victim's personal information and use it to commit fraud
against the victim.
* Loss of legitimate job: Those with a real job may quit in hopes of a better one, only to find they cannot get
their original job back after they discover their dream job was only a hoax.
* Damaged Reputation: Those who engage in sales of a faulty or otherwise controversial product may be
tarnishing their own name as the salesperson of such a worthless item.
* Trouble with law: Some victims may actually receive money. But at the same time, they may be unknowingly
breaking the law, on behalf of the perpetrator of the scheme, but will be fully legally responsible. Such
violations may be criminal or civil in nature. In other cases, they will not be committing any criminal acts, but
they will end up framed in an investigation for the crimes of the perpetrator.
* Wasted time: Victims will often invest huge amounts of time with no pay in return. This is time that can be
spent earning money at a legitimate job.
