First, it is important to know what to look for to determine a work-at-home position is legitimate. Avoid Work-at-Home Scams Over 16 million people in the United States work from home and the popularity is increasing. So it's not surprising that scams offering big financial rewards for people who want to work at home has grown in popularity. According to the Better Business Bureau (BBB), cyberspace is the newest arena that scam artists use to hunt for people to dupe. And even the most savvy Internet users can get themselves caught up in a fraudulent work-at-home opportunity. The BBB cautions to be on the look out for warning signs in any work-at-home job offer: - Overstated claims of product effectiveness; - Exaggerated promises of potential earnings, profits, or part-time earnings; - Claims of "inside" information; - Requirements of money for instructions or products before telling you how the plan works; - Claims of "no experience necessary." Be especially careful with job offers that guarantee income or require you to buy something in order to get started. And keep in mind that by becoming involved and perhaps helping to sell it to others, you are getting involved in a fraudulent scam and could risk being investigated by authorities. Here are some common fraudulent work-at-home opportunities: Assembly Work-at-Home This scheme requires you to invest hundreds of dollars in instructions and materials to produce items such as baby booties, toy clowns and plastic signs for a company that has promised to buy them. Once you have purchased the supplies and have done the work, the company often decides not to pay you because your work does not meet certain "standards." You are then left with merchandise that is difficult or impossible to sell. Envelope Stuffing When answering ads for envelope stuffing, you may not receive the expected envelopes for stuffing, but instead get promotional material asking for cash in exchange for the details on money-making plans. Pursuing the envelope ad plan may require spending several hundred dollars more for advertising, postage, envelopes and printing. This system feeds on continuous recruitment of people to offer the same plan. According to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, envelope stuffing has become a highly mechanized operation using sophisticated mass mailing techniques and equipment which eliminates any profit potential for an individual doing this type of work at home. Multi-level Marketing Multi-level marketing is often a well-established, legitimate form of business. Many people have successfully sold the products of reputable companies like Avon, Party Light and Pampered Chef to their neighbors and co-workers. These people are independent distributors who sell popular products and also recruit other distributors to join them. However, in some instances new recruits who make the investment to buy product samples have difficulty selling these products. Sooner or later the people on the bottom are stuck with a saturated market, and they cannot make money by selling products or recruiting. Online Business Advertisements for this type of business usually show up uninvited in your e-mail. You pay for a useless guide to work-at-home jobs a mixture of computer-related work such as word processing or data entry and the same old envelope-stuffing and home crafts scams. The computer disk is as worthless as the guidebook. It may only list free government web sites and/or business opportunities, which require more money. Processing Medical Insurance Claims Generally, the promoter of this scheme attracts you by advertising on TV. You may be: - Urged to buy software programs and even computers at exorbitant prices - Told that your work will be coordinated with insurance companies by a central computer; - Required to pay for expensive training sessions available at a "current special rate" that will be higher in the future; - And, pressured to make a decision immediately. Most likely, the expensive training sessions are superficial, and the market for your services may be very small or nonexistent. If you think you've been a victim of a work-at-home scheme, ask for a refund. If they refuse or give you an evasive response, tell them you plan to notify law enforcement officials. Keep careful records of everything. Document your phone calls, keep copies of all paperwork such as letters and receipts, and record all costs involved, including the time you spend. If the company refuses to refund your investment, contact your local BBB, local or state consumer affairs agency, state's attorney general's office or the publication where you found the ad for the "job." If you are unsure about a potential employer or have any concerns about an offer for work, you can always contact your local BBB for a reliability report on a specific work-at-home company. This is good information to have when you are trying to decide if the offer you just received sounds too good to be true. Because it probably is.
