It’s a shame that there are so many people out there trying to rip off the work-at-home job seeker. It’s even more disheartening to see them targeting the stay-at-home mom, the retiree, and the disabled. But the fact remains; they’re out there trying to capitalize on your desire to stay home and earn an income. And they’re making good money while they’re at it, because there’s no shortage of people who want so badly to believe their claims of easy income and instant wealth.So how are we supposed to separate the scams from the real jobs? The legitimate business opportunities from the schemes?
Your number one guide should always be your common sense (why would a lawyer in South Africa select you to handle his billion dollar account, I mean let’s be honest!). There are always warning signs, and here are the top seven.
1. Advertisements for “envelope stuffing”, “mail processors” and “home typists”.
2. They’re asking for a fee.
3. Job listings with typos and ALL CAPS.
4. The job description says, “no skills or experience necessary!”
5. Vague or non-existing job description.
6. No contact information.
7. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
