Secret Shopper
This next entry has another valuable life lesson. Any scheme or service that promises to give you money after you pay an “access fee” is a complete scam. You shouldn’t have to pay anything upfront to start getting money. Secret shopper scams like this one are infamous for doing this!

Of course, there are some legit secret shopper services out there, but you should absolutely do your research before joining. Also, it’s near impossible that they’d charge you a fee before you start working for them, as it makes absolutely zero sense for them to do this. You’re helping them out, after all!
