Be careful of "ONLINE APPOINTMENT SETTER " Jobs, EIOS Scam
Hi All,
Reaching out to people who were seeking online jobs or looking to get extra money. I come to warn you guys about a scam that you should not interact with.
I just attended a webinar from a company called EIOS (Extreme International Online System), since I'm actively looking for extra income, my socmed ads are littered with job openings and offers for remote work.
In my case, EIOS and Lift (scam page from EIOS I bet) posted a job ad looking for 50 "Online appointment setters" and they described their job role in 2 points.
1. Non-voice, chat using scripts
2. Earn anywhere, anything using a phone or laptop, anything that can connect to the internet.
Of course, this should already be a red flag from the get-go, but I explored further to understand their new strategy for getting more "victims". Looking at their FB page, they bragged about their members earning 6 figure commissions in less than 2 weeks.
Attending the webinar further confirms my suspicion. Personally, the webinar is s**t, and the majority of the webinar is all about talking about how legit their work/company is, photos of "legit" checks containing 6k figures, and their s**tty narrative that "This is not a Job" but an opportunity to earn income (Technically speaking, anything that involves compensation for doing service is a JOB)
What made me quit the webinar halfway is they showed a photo of a member showing her check worth 100k plus, but in the background, you can see a logo of EC (Empowered Consumerism. How stupid do you think the people in the webinar are to not take the time to edit out that logo?
Now I understand that most of the people in this subreddit have a certain level of familiarity with this scam or the whole pyramid scheme, but I hope that through this post I can help at least one soul to avoid throwing their hard-earned cash into these unethical schemes.
In conclusion:
EC Companies are posting legitimate Job ads to gain new members, they prey on active job seekers looking to work remotely. But there are signs to spot them as you do your research:
If the job is too easy and the pay is too big...
If all they do is brag about their earnings...
If they refer to their colleagues as Coaches/Mentors
If they require you to "Invest" any amount of money.
Then it's a scam.
Note: If you're looking for a legitimate platform to find work on, I suggest:
1. Linkedin
2. Upwork (Freelancers, Project Based Contracts)
3. Glassdoor
4. Indeed PH
5. JobYoda (recommended for those in the BPO Industry)
