Asks for your money to do the job, I always say no. There are a few, very few, legitimate needs for an employee to pay up front but I won't take those jobs.

I want the employer to pay me, not the other way around.

Good for you for catching the scam. There are just so many out there. I bet I get an ad or txt or message trying to scam me at least 3 times a day.
