The reason you see these "fake jobs" at job hunting sites is because they work very well with the prospects who visit these sites who are genuinely interested in a good career opportunity. Recently there has been an increase in "business opportunities" at these sites which promise to make you this much money in almost no time. This is often a red flag which should tell you this particular "job" is not real and you should stay away from it.'
I had a recent experience with a friend who told me there was a great business opportunity at a job oriented website which involved making money with rebates. My friend was really excited about the idea because the website which had a huge sales letter promised people they would make a six figure income within their first year, and when you are looking for a job such flashy claims can turn things in your head upside down. The fact is that the idea is legit, but the website wanted to charge people about $200 dollars for extra advice in order to receive specific information about the business/career.
On top of that, it also had an SSL (hot linked) logo which indicated the site was secure and a 100% money back guarantee. There is a problem with all of these claims which are placed on such sites to claim they are legitimate businesses, when it comes to money back guarantees you need to make sure you can get a hold of the people you are dealing with, this site had no contact information other than an email address which is also a red flag.
Real jobs do not charge you an up front fee in order to disclose information which will help you perform your duties, nor real businesses. If you are in between jobs and are seriously considering starting your own business then it is imperative that you do a complete research about the business you are trying to start, make a good business plan and don't let other people fool you with false promises and guarantees. Good working businesses are not sold cheap, so it is obvious that if someone knows of a business which makes them money they will not want to create competition for their own which is another indication that the business idea you are being sold on doesn't work or may not be legitimate.
