When you’re looking for a sales job, beware of scams: jobs that promise to help you get rich quick. Remember, if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Most sales workers put in considerable time and effort, gaining years of experience before they reach a high-level income.

Before applying for a sweet-sounding position, check out the legitimacy of the company offering the job. If you have concerns, contact or visit the websites of your local Better Business Bureau, consumer protection agency, and state attorney general’s office to see if complaints have been made against the company.

And be cautious about paying someone for a job or for information about a job.Legitimate employment agencies may charge for placement services, but some scammers charge fees to place jobseekers with a company in which no job exists. Others sell information about jobs that is available elsewhere for free.

Some sales-related job scams require you to pay a fee and then recruit others to pay similar fees (pyramid schemes); others dupe jobseekers into working for free or for very little money (cattle-call scams or some commission-only jobs).

Always verify that a company is legitimate before revealing personal information, such as your Social Security number.
