If you decided to take that route, you should be aware of all taxes and laws associated with that, to determine if it would still be worth your while. | |
| Apr 11, 2020 at 22:11 | comment | added | Josiah | Harper's post seems entirely compelling: violations of tax law and immigration law are no joke. Even just the contractual issues of representing a certain fitness for a job (e.g. living in the right time zone) that you can't deliver would be bad. I know this isn't your actual question, but it seemed at least worth flagging the possibility that strangers offering such business deals may be out to hoodwink you rather than your "mutual clients." Such arrangements could also turn you into a money laundering mule, pull an identity theft, straight up blackmail you (see Harper: felony), etc. | |
