"419" Scam – Advance Fee / Fake Lottery Scam

The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc.

Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Keep in mind that scammers DO NOT use their real names when defrauding people.
The criminals either abuse names of real people or companies or invent names or addresses.
Any real people or companies mentioned below have NO CONNECTION to the scammers!

Advantage of hiring Contract employees.

Flexibility to hire per project 

Hiring contractors allow you to remain flexible in an ever-changing market place. Whether you are launching a major project or preparing for a seasonal change in business, hiring contractors allow you to add to your workforce to satisfy specific needs. Should there be an unexpected downturn in business, you are not obligated to renew the contract once it expires. Utilizing contractors effectively allows you to remain lean when budgets are of concern, and to expand as business moves forward.

Cost Savings

This is true that hiring a contractor represents significant cost savings. Full-time employees cost an organization more than mere salary. Consider costs associated with training, providing benefits, vacation pay and sick days, and all the administrative ‘housekeeping’ that goes along with it. Once you consider the “loaded” cost of a full-time employee, hiring a contractor can actually be much easier on the bottom line.

Productivity starts immediately 

Often times, when engaging a professional contractor, you are engaging a specialized skill-set. These individuals require little hands-on training. Bottom line, a specialized contractor can become productive a few days after joining an organization. A salary employee, on the other hand, often needs a few weeks or months before they become productive. In addition, you may opt to hire your contractors through a professional staffing firm. This alleviates the burden of carrying out the recruiting process on your own. Since staffing firms typically have a pool of professional contractors to deploy, you should find that filling that role will happen a lot sooner than otherwise.

Take a “Test Drive”

Hiring a contractor may also be a good way to give a potential employee “test drive”. We have all come across the candidate who looks great on paper, delivers a tremendous interview, but falls short of expectations once they are on the job. Bringing on an employee as a contractor first is a great way to gage an individual’s true value to your organization. If they do not live up to your expectation, you can amicably part ways once the contract expires.
