I Just Wanted to Work from Home. Then a “Client” Tried to Scam Me.

A fake client, a real cheque, and a close call—how I almost got scammed while looking for honest online work. When I first started looking for online jobs, I wasn’t chasing six figures. I wasn’t even aiming big. I just wanted something I could do from home—something flexible, low-cost, and honest. Like many others, I joined platforms like Fiverr, hoping for a small gig to get me started.
