What You Need To Know ABOUT Work
At Home Jobs:
Interested in working at home? Here's work from home jobs,
telecommuting resources, and advice on how to find work from
home
opportunities If it sounds too good to be true, it is. Evaluate
every
listing you look at very carefully. Find out if there's a salary or if
you're paid on commission. Ask how often are you paid. Ask
what equipment
(hardware/software) you need to provide. Find out what support
the company
provides? Be carefully of listings that guarantee you wealth or
financial
success or that will help you get rich fast from home. They will
probably
do none of the above.

With the rise of the Internet and e-mail, getting a phony
ad or message out to a vast audience is cheap and easy.
Even though the
old work-at-home scams have taken on a modern twist, the
typical profile
of victims who are most susceptible to these scams has
changed very
little. Work-at-home con artists have always preyed most
heavily upon
senior citizens, the disabled, mothers who want to stay at home
with their
children, people with low income and few job skills, and people
who just
want to get rich quick

The Internet offers a global marketplace for consumers and
businesses. But
crooks also recognize the potentials of cyberspace. The same
scams that
have been conducted by mail and phone can now be found on
the World Wide
Web and in email, and new cyberscams are emerging. It's
sometimes hard to
tell the difference between reputable online sellers and
criminals who use
the Internet to rob people. You can protect yourself by learning
how to
recognize the danger signs of fraud. If you are a victim or
attempted
victim of Internet fraud, it's important to report the scam quickly
so
that law enforcement agencies can shut the fraudulent
operations down.

The Bait:
Be your own boss and earn big bucks. The Catch:
Taken in by promises about potential earnings, many
consumers have
invested in a "biz op" that turned out to be a
"biz flop." There was no
evidence to back up the earnings claims. The Safety Net:
Talk to other people who started businesses through the same
company, get
all the promises in writing, and study the proposed contract
carefully
before signing. Get an attorney or an accountant to take a look
at it,
too.

Advice:
You also might want to check out the company with your local
consumer
protection agency, state Attorney General and the Better
Business Bureau,
not only where the company is located, but also where you live.
These
organizations can tell you whether they have received
complaints about the
work-at-home program that interests you. But be wary: the
absence of
complaints doesn't necessarily mean the company is
legitimate.
Unscrupulous companies may settle complaints, change their
names or move
to avoid detection.
