2. Work at home has become such a rage with the advent of
internet that it has evolved into an industry on its own. As
with almost all other industries, this too has been infested
with scamsters trying to con you. In fact, this devil is more
at work in this industry due to the basic demerits of the
functionality. These demerits are actually the merits - no
physical presence. The reason the online or work at home
industry elevated to this level is because you don't need to
arrive at a particular place called office, and still work can
be executed with equal productivity and efficiency. This
has been exploited by the conmen to their advantage.
Here is a list of things you should keep in mind while
trying to enter into the world of work at home.
3. Don't pay for the membership or subscription fees at the
first glance. You will come across thousands of websites
claiming instant work and profits. Remember, it is not so
easy when practiced. Secondly, there will be lot of
competition for the work on offer. Study and research
these sites thoroughly before you invest a single cent on
these. Get as much information about the employer
before you make any commitment towards spending some
money. Genuine employers will never ask for any money
for the employment opportunities.
4. Enter into the forums on work at home. You will come
across people from all over the world discussing the idea
and problems associated with work at home. Some of
them will also be seen complaining about the opportunity
they were trapped in. Make a list of such websites about
whom there are frequent complaints. It is always better to
avoid such scamsters.
5. Envelope stuffing scheme has been the king of all scams in
the history of work at home industry. The scamsters claim
that you will be paid for stuffing the envelopes. Apply
wisdom here - why a company will pay you one dollar for
stuffing one envelope. Similar schemes have evolved with
the main principle in place. You will be asked to pay for
the membership to start data entry work. Once paid, you
will be asked to place the ad of the same site at various
places. If you receive X amount of positive responses, then
you will be paid Y amount. In reality, such scamsters don't
have any work available for you. They work on the
pyramid or gold ring scheme to con more people making
you as their front agent.
