Beware of Scams

Before you go on the search for a work at home job, please read what to watch out for, or you could lose money instead of make it.
Here are a few of the biggest scams:

1. Data Entry- If a website says that it is paying big bucks for data entry, think before signing up. Currently, there isn't a big business for people entering data, so most legitimate websites do not pay for this. I put this one at the top of the list, not only because it is hardly known about, but also because I have been scammed by many of these companies.

2. Envelope Stuffing- You probably have heard these scams before, but for those who haven't, it basically says that a website will pay you a lot of money for stuffing their envelopes. These are almost always scams.

3. Up Front Cash- 99% of all legitimate websites DO NOT ask you to pay money up front. They should be paying you, not the other way around!
Note: Some legitimate companies will ask you to pay money for a background check, which is perfectly reasonable, since you could be handling their customers personal information.
You might also be required to pay for training. I tend to avoid these companies though.
