Ever dreamed of making easy money abroad, without breaking a sweat? Maybe you imagined stepping off the plane to find your employer waiting at the airport, holding a sign, rolling out a red carpet, and popping a bottle of champagne? Hell, why not go all the way—maybe there’s even a choir of angels singing "Welcome, dear worker!"

Well, congratulations! You are the ideal target for scammers selling fake jobs on Facebook and Social Media.

While rational people carefully research employers, demand contracts, and check reviews, the professional fool proudly declares: "If it's on the internet, it must be true!"

Why waste time verifying anything when you can shovel a pile of cash into the hands of a shady recruiter for a criminal record check that you could have obtained yourself for a fraction of the cost?

Because, after all, trust is the key to success—especially when it comes to total strangers demanding your money.

And if you’ve passed this first test of naivety, don’t worry—there’s plenty more where that came from.

Golden rule for the fool: "We provide accommodation, but you need to pay in advance!"

Because, obviously, that’s how the world works: you pay first, then find out if you even have a place to sleep.

This is how “lucky” people end up sharing a tiny 9-square-meter room with three strangers, paying rent as if they were living in a luxury penthouse overlooking the Alps.

“What a stroke of luck!” the fool thinks, squeezing their suitcase between a rickety bunk bed and a broken fridge. Meanwhile, the scammer—whom the fool still believes to be a kind-hearted mentor—is counting their money and promising better conditions next month.

Spoiler alert: next month never comes.

If you thought working abroad was like a sponsored vacation, sorry to burst your bubble.

No one will be waiting for you with a tour guide and free maps.

No one will hand you a schedule of recreational activities.

And no one will hold your hand when you have to figure things out on your own.

Yet, there are still people who move abroad without knowing where they will live, how much they will actually earn, or if the job even exists.

But hey, it's good to be optimistic!

That is, until you find yourself stuck in a warehouse, working 12-hour shifts, with a boss who doesn’t speak a word of any language you know—while your bank account slowly dies.

The harsh reality is this: while some people do their research, verify employers, and ask questions, others blindly assume “this could never happen to me.”

But when they find themselves crammed into a damp basement on a worn-out mattress, paying premium rent for a job that doesn’t exist, the only question left is: “Why is this happening to me?” The answer? Because a Facebook like is not a job contract, and the scammer is not your guardian angel.

So before you sell your kidney for a bunk bed, do your homework! Otherwise, even the Romanian government starts looking like a fair employer.
