Fraud

Job offers that take a toll up front

Longer note · updated October 2026

A real mill takes its toll from your grain, after the work. A fake job offer takes it first, from your pocket, and gives nothing back.

How the request appears

  • Registration or activation fees before any work
  • Training packages sold by the person offering the job
  • Starter kits of equipment or stock bought from them
  • Deposits to unlock tasks or withdraw earnings
  • Forwarding money through your account, which can involve you in a crime

Signs before the request

Messages you didn't ask for, pay far above normal for simple tasks, contact only through private chat apps and pressure to decide today.

What to do

Don't pay or forward anything. Stop replying and report the account. If you've already paid, call your bank straight away and report it to the police or your country's fraud reporting service.
