Listings on Work When Free are posted by other users. We do not verify identities, phone numbers, or the jobs themselves, and we are not a party to any arrangement made after contact details are shared. Please read these points before you agree to anything.
Before you contact anyone
- Read the whole listing. Be careful with vague tasks, unusually high amounts for very little work, or descriptions that avoid saying what the job actually is.
- Check that the hours and the amount look reasonable for the task. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
- Remember that nobody on this platform should ask you to pay to get a job. We never charge workers, and neither should a poster.
Never pay or share these
- Registration fees, training fees, deposits, security money, or any payment to be considered for a job.
- Bank account details, card numbers, one-time passwords, or account passwords.
- Copies of identity documents before you have met and agreed on real work.
- Money sent to receive a package, process a payment, or forward funds to someone else.
When you meet or start work
- Speak on the phone first and confirm the details match the listing.
- Meet in a public place where possible, in daylight, and tell someone you trust where you are going.
- Agree the amount, the hours, and how you will be paid before you begin.
- Do not travel far or take on cost before anything is confirmed.
- Stop and walk away if the person pressures you, changes the terms, or asks for money.
