Online students are often scammed when they try to find online classes

Prepayments

You will be asked to pay a lot of money upfront by an online tutor. They never complete the work. You will be blackmailed if you request a refund. Most of them are located overseas so you won't get your money back.

Fake reviews

Some reviews may be fake and some are genuine. You can read reviews from third-party sites, but you will know if they are fake.

Background Research

Google will show you four ads when you search for "take my online course for me". Scammers may also post these ads. Online students may not be aware they clicked an advertisement and believe they have found the right company because they appear at the top of the search results page. Please do background checks, such as domain registration and company registration details before hiring someone to teach your online class.

Hidden Fees

Online students might be asked to pay for a VPN/proxy, but this shouldn't be.

Shoddy Work

If the online tutor doesn't return your work on-time or does poor work, you may feel like you have been taken advantage of.

These are five ways online students can be scammed by scammers when searching for tutors to help them with their online courses. These tips will help you avoid being scammed while earning your online degree.
