HOW TO SPOT A WORK FROM HOME SCAM




We would all love to make $3000 a week stuffing envelopes or by posting ads on Craigslist. Wouldn't it be nice if a job like that existed? Usually, when you see a job posting saying -- make up to $200.00  a day by posting ads, no experience necessary-- beware it's a scam. With the bad economy and companies laying off, scam artists are in rare form to take advantage of individuals who are looking to earn income from their homes to support themselves and their families.


On my search to find legitimate work from home opportunities to post for you. I've come  across thousands of scams. For every one legitimate work from home job opening there are 10 scams waiting to prey on you. If the job posting sounds to good to be true that's usually the case.



                                                       


Here's a some key things to lookout for that scammers use in their job postings
 
 
 
 
1. Simply make $ 200 to 2000.00 a week- no experience necessary, hiring immediately all you need is a computer.  
 
 If it was that easy all we would all be rich! Although some people are making that kind of money weekly online from home, they had to put in a lot of work and it didn't happen over night!
 
 
 
2. Make money by stuffing envelopes or assembling products or medical billing and coding... for a limited time only,-- request a starter kit today " Get Your Kit Today".
 
SCAM Beware !! If they are asking you to request a starter kit you'll have to end up paying some type of fee either for the kit or for mailing the kit to you. I have yet to see a legitimate assembling products position you can do online. And for the medical billing and coding job postings they usually want you to sign up for some type of training or to buy software to start your own medical billing and coding business.
 
 
There are legitimate medical billing and coding positions, they are usually posted on hospital websites, healthcare staffing agencies, healthcare clinics websites, healthcare career websites
 


3.  Have your own business - Be the boss! Enjoy Flexible Hours - Spend more time with your family, Unlimited income potential - Get paid what you're really worth! Reliable income - Financial security, residual income stream, FREE Training and Support - Risk Free!Get paid to do what you love

RUN ! SCAM ALERT !... Usually when you see a post like this they never tell you what type of job/business you'll be doing. You read one screen and it will take you to another screen then another screen where you fill out a form asking for your name and phone number and email address. More than likely they will be sending you spam. So don't even bother fill out your information.



To summarize, these scammers are trying to prey on the disabled, unemployed, stay at home mom and students. Don't give out your personal information such as bank or credit card numbers. Legitimate job opportunities will not ask for this information up front.
