(Claude) Summary of a recent post seeking advice about online business scams: An injured auto mechanic on disability shared their story of repeatedly falling victim to online marketing scams. They spent their savings and took out a $30k student loan for an online marketing course that proved nearly worthless. They're looking to start affiliate marketing to earn a living, but keep encountering sites that demand escalating fees and payments. Their main question was about how to identify scam sites before investing money - specifically, techniques to look past landing pages to spot hidden fees and requirements. They want to avoid situations where they're stuck waiting for their next disability check after losing money to fraudulent opportunities. The original poster seemed technically inexperienced but eager to learn legitimate ways to earn income online after their career-ending injury. They've already learned some hard lessons about account security and online fraud. Would be curious to hear others' suggestions for vetting online business opportunities and avoiding common scams targeting newcomers to digital marketing.
