99% of the work-at-home offers out there are scams. If it was that easy to make money from home, wouldn't everyone be doing it by now? Here are some common scams – how to recognize them, and how not to get sucked in by them.
Where did you see the offer? If you got it in your email, I can guarantee it’s not a legitimate offer. Assume that any offer is a scam until you’ve proved otherwise.
Stuffing envelopes is one of the more common home scams. The way it works is that you pay money to sign up and you get a set of envelopes and ads just like the one to which you responded. Then you stuff your envelopes and pay again to send them out on the off chance that someone will respond to your ad.
Quick tip: If anyone asks for money up front, that’s a real sign that a scam is in progress. A real company should be willing to deduct money from your income if they are that confident that you will make money. If they won't do that, then it’s pretty obvious that they don't ever plan to pay you.
There are lots of money making opportunities like work from home scams that would have you believe that they have more work than they can handle themselves, so they need extra help, like people to work from home. What happens is that you will be told that the work involves the typing of documents such as medical bills into your computer. These scams all work the same. They say that all you need is your computer, but then say that you need to buy their “special software” to do the job, which is the way the scam company makes money from you.
If a home business opportunity involves you working for someone else, it’s probably a scam. You don't know who you're dealing with.
You won't make anywhere near as much money as you can with running your own home business.
