I hate seeing fellow entrepreneurs and aspiring business owners fall prey to any the work at home scams out there so I'd like to start sharing resources to help all of us identify these scams more readily - and hopefully, to avoid them!
I wanted to share this list of the
Top 10 Work at Home Scams.
Definitely read the entire article for the big picture - but here's a brief paragraph:
There are two basic types of scams involved here. Scammers using both types are aiming at folks who want to make money from home, either by:
1. Having you work from home, doing envelope stuffing, craft assembly, or other tasks where you are (supposedly) paid by a company as an employee.
Before we go any further, a sobering quote: "There are very few legitimate [work-at-home job] opportunities available," says Beverley Williams, President and Founder of the American Association of Home-Based Businesses.
2. "Helping" you start your own home-based business, as a mystery shopper, network marketer, or other businesses where the only money anyone sees is the money the scammer pockets.
I hope this info helps someone avoid getting scammed!
