Tips on watching out for Work at Home Scams

 

#1 Rule - Never Pay A Company To "Hire You" Directly!
The company should be paying you to work for them.

TIPS 

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

You may see work at home ads in the newspaper that may say something like this:

Work From Home - No Experience
Make $5000.00 A Week
Start Today!
Call  (Phone Number)

This is a Work at Home Scam most of the time. Put that Red Flag Up!!!

 

Another one that is popular is the pyramid schemes!

This is where you pay a registration fee for example $50.00. Then you are promised to make $600 a week. When you pay your $50.00 you then find out that what they want you to do is place ads in newspapers or online for the same thing you signed up for. So basically you are taking registration fees and then teaching them to do the same thing. Not only are these Illegal! But, it is a SCAM not a job!

If you wonder if a company is a scam or not, check them out with the OBB - Online Business Bureau www.obb.com  they specialize in Online Companies and Flagging the Scams. A company does NOT have to be a member to receive complaints!  If you look up a company and they have a lot of complaints - be cautious!

Also, Google the Company Name! Change the phrase a few times. For example we will say ABC Company.

Google Search: ABC Company
Google Search: Is ABC Company a Scam
Google Search: Information about ABC Company

Those are just a few ways to put phrases into Google.

 

You need to know the difference between “paying for a Job” and “paying for a Service”.

 

Even though you might run into a lot of “scam sites”; keep in mind that there are also legitimate work-at- home websites that offer a service for a fee. 

 

This service might be teaching you a new skill with software tutorials, courses, etc.  The site might list new work at home jobs into their database several times a week, etc.  For these sites to keep the information up-to-date they have to pay qualified staff to check out the jobs and then type up the job information on the website.  This takes time and cost money. 

 

Plus each website you see hosted on the Internet has expenses.  They pay for hosting fees, advertising, website updates and much more. 

 

With all of this said; keep in mind that you should never pay to get hired!  It is okay to pay for a service if you have checked out the company and know it is a legitimate company offering the service. 

 

The fee should be reasonable. 

 

Just remember the golden rule “if it sounds too good, it probably is”.

"I am complimenting on the Work at Home service and product. I had to quit a good paying job to stay home with my sick child. I have been looking for something that I could do at home for over a year. I have tried just about every scam out there. I have wasted hundreds of dollars on companies promising that they can help find jobs for people who want to work at home. This opportunity with Work at Home Affiliation has been the first and only legitimate offer I have found. Not to mention the cheapest. They are honest in their advertising for their service."

Robin Whitney, SC 

  

"Work@Home Affiliation has never let me down. The information was all there. In fact, there was so much information I wanted to get started in every part. W@HA is not a "Get Rich Quick Scheme." Let's face it; there are really no free rides anywhere. Seriously, W@HA is valuable, working information for serious people".

Terri Hawkins, AR
