You come across a company that promises you a great opportunity to make money. They will set you up with a website showing properties for sell or rent, meant to harvest leads for mortgage companies.
Depending on how many leads you generate by operating your website, you could earn up to $80 per piece.
The scam occurs when the company offers you a promotion campaign for your website worth $10,000, for only $4,000. As several fake testimonials guarantee that you can generate hundreds of leads, you do a quick math and decide to join the program.
After months of struggling with this, you’ll realize you’ve been scammed, as you will be paid – but just a little bit - enough to keep you going, to harvest leads for them. This – having your info harvested - is another scam itself, described on the previous menu as the Real estate website login scam.
