How to tell a scam

One of the questions I get asked most often is how to tell whether a work from home job posting is a scam or a legitimate job.
There are warning signs. In addition, there are sites that can help you determine what’s a real work at home job and what isn’t.

Scams can also be an issue when looking for jobs that don’t involve working at home.
Job sites try to police the listings, but, it’s hard to catch all the bad listings
in a timely manner.
Be careful when reviewing postings to make sure that you’re not taken advantage of,
by unscrupulous job posters.

Avoid listings that guarantee you wealth, financial success, or that will help you get rich fast.

Do not send money!
Legitimate employers don’t charge to hire you or to get you started

Posting Ads -
There are lots of ads saying workers are needed to post ads on online bulletin boards and forums.
You don’t get paid to post, rather you may get paid if other people sign-up.

You may see advertisements for work at home jobs on this page,
because that’s the topic of the article.
Just because you see an ad here, that doesn’t make it a legitimate company.
Carefully investigate companies that you are interested in.

Why Are These Scams So Successful?

It all comes down to psychology. Besides the “make money fast” dream,
that many Internet newcomers fall prey to, home-based “opportunities” Scammers mooch off the following groups.
Perhaps you belong to one or more of them:
1. The Sick, Disabled, or Elderly:
2. The Stay-At-Home Mother:
3.The Low-Income or No-Income Family:
4.The Person Without an Education:

There are tons of other factors to look out for:
which will be added in the up and coming months just be care full and good luck in your quest for online work.
There are tons of online work out there, you just have to look at every option that there is.
Remember DO NOT PAY for any of it. If they ask you for money then it’s a SCAM.
I have come a cross a lot of them in my email stating that GOOGLE is looking to hire people
Funny thing is that GOOGLE will not and never sent out emails looking to hire people to advertise,on there site of such and the best part they wanted me to pay for it.
The only thing that you have to pay for while working online is.
1)Your website hosting fees ( from $5.00 to $20.00 a month) depends on who you go through
2)To make a website or have 1 made for you
Advertising ( GOOGLE,MSN,YAHOO) that all depends on your budget any where from $5.00 a month to what ever and that pays for your PPC (pay per clicks) on key word bidding.
3)And any other way that you may want to advertise.
4)Free ways to advertise is in the affiliate forums there are hundreds of them just do a search for affiliate forums.

Just remember if it sounds to good to be true then guess what it is a scam and remember be careful
and good luck in your search

2) Stay away from ptc’s email’s (paid to click emails) They do send you emails but they way that works is,they send you an emails a few times a day and you have to stay on that site and read it and you get paid for it.sounds good to me also but for you to make a Dollar you would have to read about 1,000 emails.To me thats a waste of time.
