Do Your Homework Before Working At Home

TRY SECRET SHOPPING WITH MARKET FORCE. IT DOESN'T PAY A LOT BUT YOU CAN GET SOME GREAT FREE STUFF MEALS MOVIE TICKETS ETC. AND A LITTLE EXTRA POCKET MONEY. OR SURVEY SITES LIKE MYSURVEY OR LIGHTSPEEDPANEL THEY ARE LEGITIMATE SURVEY SITES I LOVE AND USE ALL THE TIME TO MAKE A LITTLE EXTRA MONEY FOR MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT OR IN GIFT CARDS.

This is so true. YOu need to do research before venturing off into a work at home opportunity.

There are so many scam out there you must be so careful.

I wish these scam sites were not allowed online or quickly deleted once posted or something that way the real sites with opportunities to help others would be forefront from all the other mess. I have also looked at Stay At Home job opportnies.. to many are scams and the one that I thought was not one, I just did not ever get back to writing that person, because of fear and doubt.

Good advice! Thanks for posting this info

I am so tired of the scams and hype on the internet. I will not join any program that sounds to good to be true. These con artists they do not care if you make money or not. It's terrible!

Thank you so much for all of the info guys!

I work from home. This is a very simple business and I have been in it for 10 years. I own and operate a house-cleaning business. I average about 15.00 to 20.00 an hour. I work by the job, not by the hour. This has allowed me to be a stay-at-home single mom and a full time college student as well. I have six classes to go and a round of student teaching to complete my BA in Education. I attend classes on-line through the only college in America that is accredited for on-line teaching degrees. That is Grand Canyon University. I also spend my time searching for ways to suppliment my income through selling AVON. I have recently set up a website on Etsy.com to sell my home made crafts. If anyone is interested in doingf this type of work-from-home, feel free to contact me via this forum. Best wishes, Deniselynn777

I remember my friend telling me about this money making thing on youtube. She showed me this video everything thing seemed all normal until they said all we need is your name, address, and credit card information... after that I knew it was a SCAM, so i just closed the box.

Some work at home will make you pay for a credit or background check. If people exercised a little common sense - scams would not be as prevalent there are legitimate places to work. ratracerebellion.com has a listing. Most legitimate places to work at home function very much like brick and mortar places. Some allow flexible schedules, some are more rigid, you will more than likely be classified as independent contractors, some you are employees of the company, some have non compete clauses, most require a separate phone line with no features, some require that you incorporate your business. If the deal sounds too good to be true or is exceptionally easy - usually spells scam.

It always makes me so sad when people are taken in by scams and so angry that there are people out there who think it's ok to perpetuate them. Personally, I'm in favor of the model that a job is there to pay me, and if I have to put up money upfront, there had better be a GOOD reason and a proven business model. Here's hoping people find a legit opportunity and learn to smell the scams and run!

I have been looking for a legit "work at home" position for over 2 years and I have found nothing. I haven't been scammed b/c if it says anything about needing to pay for something I'm done with it.

This is very helpful I have been scam before where my bank account was closed. This made me very angry and appalled, people are so scandalous and sneaky.

I had the pleasure of working for my former company for a year from home. I had to stop it however as my son grew old enough (16 mos) where it was impossible to dedicate a few straight hours to my position. The problem that I find is that Im trying to find something that is truly worth the hours I put into it and that I can do without stealing too much of my time from my son. Its a shame but often you find companies that ask for money usually are scams.

I've gotten scammed before. I really hope this info helps. Thanks alot.
