Kill the Custom Sample Scam Zombie
Kill the Custom Sample Scam Zombie

Never, ever give a client a custom “sample”. Period.
Scams are like zombies. No matter how much you beat them up, no matter how many limbs you sever, no matter how many times you empty a revolver into their chest cavity… They just keep on going! If you want to transform the undead back into the regular dead, you gotta take off their heads.
And that’s what I’m going to try to do today. I want to take a long-running scam that chews up writers like a zombie chews up brains and rip its head off. In that spirit, let me repeat the first line of this post:

So, you thought that setting up shop on one of the freelance job boards was going to protect you from lowlife scammers? Think again, my writing friends.
“If this one is good, I’ll pay you more for the next one.” Yeah, right.

Those wonderful people from the Internet marketing world hire web-based freelance writers to do a lot of work. Many of us couldn’t make ends meet if it wasn’t for the “IM” crowd.
Yeah, we complain. They try to low-ball us. They expect too much and they want it too fast. Etc. We gripe, but we need them just like they need us. And we can’t really get too hacked off about the rates we’re offered, right? After all, it’s just business. They can’t pay top dollar unless the material is producing a profit for them.
That’s the story we tell ourselves about those rates, anyway. We’d like to believe that all of the people we meet out in IM land are “good guys” and that they’d pay us more if they could afford it. Maybe, we hope, they’ll hit it big and the money will follow on the next job.
The Dating Game: Scamming Freelancers with a Twist

Once upon a time I read about this little rip-off strategy somewhere, but I can’t for the life of me remember where. I didn’t think about it again until I recently spotted an ad looking for writers. The ad itself sounded okay but the underlying dishonesty renders it completely indecent.
Hello, My name is Corena and I am a content broker. That means I need writers and graphic designers for contract jobs pretty often. This blog is something I put up to help my writers get honest reveiws..most written by other writers and not some scam. If it is interesting to writers you may find it here. If you're interested in writing some news let us know.I hope that I will post something of interest to you and if not let me know and I will do my best to get something up that will tempt you to come again and again. ~Corena
