Thumbsdown Better Business Bureau Work at Home Scams list
I ran across this tonight and thought having the link in our scam library might be helpful.

Click here for the BBB's list of Work From Home Scams and relative info.

A few quick tips from their page:
A Work-at-Home Scheme Promoter will:
  • Never offer you regular salaried employment.
  • Promise you huge profits and big part-time earnings.
  • Use personal testimonials but never identify the person so that you could check with them.
  • Require money for instructions or merchandise before telling you how the plan operates.
  • Assure you of guaranteed markets and a huge demand for your handiwork.
  • Tell you that no experience is necessary.
  • Take your money and give you little or nothing in return except heartbreak and grief.
