You must stay alert if they ask for advance money or security deposits.
You should never share sensitive information like bank passwords or OTPs with anyone.
You must not blindly trust ads that promise guaranteed salaries just because you want to work from home. You can build a stable career path alongside family responsibilities if you choose a job that matches your education, experience, and skills.
