Beware of Scam jobs

Yes, even at oDesk.
A Verified employer is not an assurance that they are good employer.

I had applied 3 scam jobs and asked co-contractors to give me tips and advices thru community page.

I posted "I was asked to sign up on a site outside oDesk. After signing up, job post was canceled" on our discussion board" after I got scammed by an employer.

And guess what?  I found out that such employer is also a contractor like us and using co-contractors to earn in a wrong way.  They cheat people just to earn.

And got this tip from darrenjames, please take note:
   One warning sign that it's a scam is a referrer URL, something like:
    http://www.site.com/referrers_username
    ...what this often means is that the REFERRER gets paid for everyone he can convince to sign up.   You can copy and paste the URL into your browser and remove the referrer:
   http://www.site.com/
   ...and check out the site. Remove the referrer so they don't get paid for you going and checking the site out.
