How can I find genuine work-from-home jobs and avoid scams?

Genuine remote jobs exist in fields like software development, customer support, content writing, digital marketing, design, tutoring, data analysis and virtual assistance. Look for them on trusted platforms such as LinkedIn, Naukri and company career pages.

Warning signs of a scam:

• They ask you to pay a registration, training or security fee.
• Pay sounds too good for very simple work, like liking videos or rating products.
• Communication only on WhatsApp or Telegram, with no official email or website.
• They ask for bank OTPs, passwords or to deposit money into “tasks”.

A real employer pays you; they don’t ask you to pay them. If you are cheated, report it on the national cybercrime portal or call 1930.
