Paying Up Front for a Job
- 
This was on 9Gag for new college grads, but we've seen this come up for our own community members time and time again. So worth posting.

You mean I just gave away $500 to process my job form, where I was promised $1Million a year?
 - 
But you have to pay upfront to get your college application submitted isn't this the same thing? ::sarcasm::

I've never seen any job require this.. How would anyone fall for it..

It appears to be a very common scam in certain parts of the world.

Yup, when you pay up front for a job it means you are the business' income stream.
Add in a referral system and you have yourself a full-blown pyramid scheme!

It is a very straightforward scam. I'm shocked that people actually not realize that a scam is happening.
