There are now a lot of work at home scams, in particular, so you need to be more careful when choosing which ones to work on. The key to avoiding work at home scams is to recognize them right away even before considering joining in. Be very wary of those that offer you easy money, with ads telling you that you can earn thousands of dollars a month working part time in the comfort of your very own home. If the site promises this much but are hazy in providing details of the nature of the job they are offering, then start getting suspicious. If it sounds way too good to be true, then it probably is, right? One of the most important rules you need to follow if you want to maximize profits online is to steer clear of pyramid work at home scheme. There are so many forms out there right now, and a good number of them are disguised in one form or another. There are those that may actually work, but the chances that you may not be able to recover your invested cash are very high. Another potential work at home scams are those businesses that require you to recruit others first before you can start earning. Legitimate work at home opportunities must be focused more on the advertising and actual selling of products and services, and definitely not on recruiting others to follow suit. Some of the most common work at home scams are as follows: • Envelope stuffing. This is not as simple as stuffing envelopes. They will usually ask you to do something more such as placing the ad in newspapers and magazines. • Craft work or assembly. You will need to pay a lot of many for your equipment and materials. Some even require you to buy sewing machines, only to find out that the company never really buy your assembled craft as they are sub-standard in their eyes.

• Computer work requiring sign-up fees. These generally gets you some good to nothing guide with the most generic information on running a online business and list of companies you can contact to get started. These contacts are usually either not interested or pay too little to be worth your time. • Medical billing. You are usually required to pay thousands of dollars to invest in software, in training and for technical support. You buy these without the assurance of getting any clients at the end of the day. Work at home scams are simply intent at taking your money without actually leaving you a job to do or any return of investment. Remember that legitimate business opportunities, be they work at home or otherwise, will not require you to pay unreasonable fees just to get more information. More so, genuine companies will not resort to pressuring tactics to force you to work with them. Make sure that you use your intuition and follow what your instincts tell you.
