Online workers are the most exploited group of working class in the world. Because most of our work is remote and there is great distance between the two. Many website have scam many online workers and ripped them off both in payment and other benefits. Where this is rampant is writing articles for contents sites.
I think as a worker, we have to be careful in choosing which websites to work for. Those offering very low pay and don't pay on time are not worth our effort.

In some countries maidservants working offline are making far more than online workers, because government agencies, large companies are extremely ruthless in cheating, exploiting online workers, who have no one to help them.
Can I really say anything about this? The online sphere is mostly freelance and you have the freedom to walk if what is on offer does not Favour you.
No. Online workers have the same rights as any other workers and should not be expected to tolerate exploitation. Workers should be treated fairly and paid a living wage for their services.
It is important to take a stand for yourself and for the rights of others. You have the right to demand fair payment for your work, and you should never accept any type of exploitation. Not only is it wrong and unethical, but it can also hurt the entire industry if it becomes accepted as the norm. Respect yourself and the work you do by standing up for what you deserve.

We should always be aware of our rights and be aware of how people are trying to take advantage of us. We should always speak up when something doesn’t feel right and stand our ground when it comes to our rights. We should also never be afraid to ask for help if we need it, whether it be from a friend, family member or professional. Finally, we should always be informed about the issues that affect us, so that we can make sure that we are not taken advantage of.

Government agencies are falsely claiming that their well paid employees who do not spend any time online, are doing the online work, own this and other forum account, paypal account, domains of a private citizen , to pay their employees monthly salaries at the expense of the private citizen who is spending time working daily to pay the domain renewal expenses. I am finding that I cannot access some of my forum accounts because of these fake claims. It is very difficult for a small online business owner to fight the government agencies, One of these government employees is a very wealthy gujju stock broker with assets of more than $12 million, yet she is cheating me every year since 2013 of $15000 falsely claiming to own my domains.
Exploitation should not only be rejected in offline business but it should also be found at buy online workers.
